Seasons - 3/22/2010

Explain why seasons happen.

27 comments:

  1. Weathers happen when the Eatrh revolves around the Sun. When the Earth revolves around the Sun years are made slowly. During the year the four seasons happen. When a continent faces the Sun summer is happening. If it is mid-point, it is fall or spring. If it is nowhere close to the Sun, it is winter.

  4. Seasons happen because earth is tilted on it's axis and when it makes a revolution different parts of the earth get sunlight during different parts of the year creating the seasons.Some parts of the earth get lots of sunlight(summer)other places get some(spring and fall)and some places barely get any sunlight(winter).L1

  5. Seasons happen because of the earth spinning on it's axis, and revolving around the sun. If we didn't revolve around the sun, we would not see the seasons, we would just have either day or night forever.Another reason for seasons is how close or far apart from the sun we are at different times during the year.

  6. Seasons happen because of the tilt of the Earth. The Earth is tilted about 23.5 Degrees. When the Northern part of the Earth (the Northern hemisphere) is pointed towards the Sun it is "Summer". At the same time, when the Southern part of the Earth (the Southern hemisphere) is pointed away from the Sun it is "Winter". So, because of the Earth's axis, the seasons in the South are different from the ones in the North.

  7. The earth is tilted on it's axis at about 23.5 degrees.When the North Pole is pointed away from the sun, the Southern Hemisphere gets the sun's direct rays , while the Northern Hemisphere gets the rays at an angle. Therefore, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere and winter in the Northern Hemisphere. 6 months later, the seasons are reversed, and everything is opposite.M11

  10. Why do seasons happen? Seasons happen because the earth is tileted on it`s axis. When Northern is pointed away from the sun Southern has the sun in direct rays. When that happens the Northern gets the rays at an angle. So in the Southern it is Summer and the North it is Winter. When 6 Months past everything turns opposite like reversed aroun. The Southern has Winter and Northern has Summer because it was switched all around. That is why the seasons changes.

  12. Seasons happen because of the Earth's tilt on its axis. When the Earth revolves around the sun, some parts of it get a greater amount of sunlight because they are closer to the sun. For six months of the year, the North Pole tilts away from the sun, which causes it to have fall and winter while the South Pole has summer and spring.

  13. The seasons happen because the earth revolves around the sun. Some times the earth is closer to the sun (summer) and farther away from the sun (winter).

  15. The reason we have the seasons is the tilt of the earth,or in other words a 23.5 degree angle.
    The other reason is in the winter you get less sunlight then in the summer M10

  16. seasons happen when the earth revolves around the moon and the sun. causing the seasons.

  17. The seasons happen because the earth revolves around the sun.It also rotates on it's axis to create day and night.The part where the sun shows the most is summer,the part with the least sun is winter.

  18. The seasons are caused by the tilting of the earth towards the sun. In the northern hemisphere the summer is when the hemisphere is leaning towards the sun. In the fall the northern hemisphere starts tilting away from the sun and in the winter is when the northern hemisphere is tilted furthest away from the sun. Then in the sprind the northern hemisphere starts tilting towards the sun and the cycle restarts. In the southern hemisphere things are differnt. When the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun (summer) the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun (winter), this is the same with fall and spring. The northern and southern hemispheres have opposite seasons. So, in the southern hemisphere, they have Christmas in the summer!

  19. season is happening beecause earth is revolve around the sun with it's axis that tilted.when Houston is far away from the sun it will be winter and Houston is close to the sun is summer.

  20. Seasons happen when the eath is tilted on its axis. One part of the earth is not facing the sun which causes winter. Another part of the earth is facing the sun which causes summer.

  22. Since the earth is tilted on it's axis, while it is revolving around the sun,(which is completed once a year)it causes seasons. when the earth is facing the sun, it has summer, while on the opposite side, there is winter.

  23. The seasons happen by the tilt of the earth around the sun.

  24. I think it has to be with the rotation of the Earth, the position of the sun, the wind and the tides moving. When the summer happens, our part of the world is tilted toward the sun. When it is winter, our part of the world is tilted away from the sun.

  25. The seasons happen by the tilt of the eart around the sun. Because the eath is rotating on its axis at an angle while the earth is still revolving around the sun

  26. the seasons of the Earth (Spring,Summer,fall,and Winter) are caused when the Earth revolves around the sun therfore giving more light/heat to one part of the world when the other part has little light making it winter in that area

  27. The earth tilts back and forth and make summer. And the other year is winter. When its summer it tilts towards to the sun to have summer. And the other time the earth tilts to the other way and makes winter.
