Seasons are a fundamental aspect of life on Earth, shaping the planet's environment, ecosystems, and human activities. Seasons result from the Earth's axis being tilted on its course around the Sun, which causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. Our planet's tilt, along with the sun's energy and the earth's rotation, creates a cycle of climatic changes called seasons.
What are the Seasons?
The Earth experiences four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Each season is characterized by specific environmental conditions, including temperature, precipitation, and day length.
