Have you ever wondered why weather changes with each season? Our Earth is like a giant spinning top, rotating on its axis. This axis is tilted, meaning different parts of the Earth get more sunlight at different times of the year.
In the fall, leaves change color and fall because the days get shorter and there's less sun to make food. Trees must store food for the winter. Animals also get ready for winter. Some birds migrate to warmer places. Others gather food to store for the winter.
Winter brings cold temperatures and snow in many parts of the world. The earth's tilt is away from the sun, resulting in shorter, colder days. Some animals hibernate during winter, sleeping until warmer weather returns.
Spring is a time of rebirth. The Earth's tilt starts to favor the sun, leading to longer, warmer days. Animals come out of hibernation, and flowers bloom once again.
Summer is the hottest season. During summer, the Earth's tilt is towards the sun. Days are longer and nights are shorter. Many animals like to play and hunt during the warm summer nights.
So, you see, the changing seasons are like a grand symphony performed by Earth, the Sun, and the creatures living on Earth. Each movement brings changes to the weather and triggers new beginnings in the natural world.
