Winter, a term that brings images of snow, ice, and cold, is a fascinating season of wonder. As Earth orbits the sun, the tilt causes the sun's rays to strike different parts of the globe more directly during each of Earth's spins. That's why we experience seasons. During winter, the sun's rays strike the Earth at a shallow angle, resulting in a significant reduction in daylight hours. Winter's icy grip leads to dormancy in many plants, but it is not merely a time of decay. It’s an essential part of the cycle of life. The dormancy period allows plants to conserve water and survive the cold. Similarly, many animals hibernate or migrate to warmer areas to survive the harsh winter conditions. Human adaptation to winter is also fascinating. We layer ourselves with clothes, drink warm beverages, and indulge in comfort food. Winter also heralds the arrival of numerous cultural celebrations like Christmas and Hanukkah, which light up the darkness of the season. Winter also presents opportunities for unique sports like skiing, snowboarding, and ice hockey. The captivating beauty of winter landscapes, as if nature has draped a white blanket over itself, is a sight to behold. However, climate change is altering the characteristics of winter. Warmer winters with less snowfall could potentially disrupt ecosystems, affect winter sports, and even impact various cultures. Our collective actions can help alleviate climate change effects and help preserve the awe-inspiring wonder that is winter.
