What causes seasons?
• Most locations on Earth experience seasons. Each season is characterized by a pattern of temperature and other weather trends.
• We experience seasons due to changes in the
intensity of sunlight and the number of daylight hours as Earth revolves around the sun.

What causes seasons?
• At an equinox, sunlight shines equally on the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Half of each hemisphere is lit, and half is in darkness.
• As Earth moves along its orbit, the sunlight
reaches more of one hemisphere than the other. • At a solstice, the area of sunlight is at a
maximum in one hemisphere and at a minimum in the other hemisphere.
