Seasons occur because Earth’s axis is tilted and its position relative to the sun continually changes as it travels along its orbit. PTS: 1. 21. ANS: the energy transferred from one object to another because of temperature differences. PTS: 1. 22. ANS: a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual atoms or molecules in a substance. PTS: 1. 23.
What Causes Seasons?
Because the Earth’s distance from the sun changes very little, it does not cause the seasons to occur. Rather, the angle of the earth’s surface with respect to the sun affects the intensity of the sunlight that is received. Here the flashlights represent the sun and the white paper represents the surface of the Earth.

The seasons occur because of differences in the intensity of sunlight at various latitudes due to the earth’s 23.5o tilt. As seen in the figure to the right, the sun’s rays are nearly parallel as they reach the earth. The same amount of energy is found in each of the groups A and B, as each pair of lines are the same distance apart.

Why do seasons occur? How long is one Earth revolution? Describe how the Earth revolves? During an equinox, the sun is directly above Earth’s? What is leap year? What imaginary line divides the northern and southern hemisphere? What is the difference between a revolution and orbit?

Changes in the seasons are caused not by the varying distance between Earth and the Sun but by the tilt of Earth on its axis during that revolution. As Earth orbits the Sun, there are times of the year when the North Pole is alternately tilted toward the Sun or tilted away from the Sun.

Thus, no matter the time of year, one part of the planet is always exposed to more direct insolation than another. As the earth orbits the sun, the amount of insolation will change at any particular location, causing the seasons to change.

The tilt of the Earth on its axis creates seasons. When the northern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun we are experiences summer but that causes the southern hemisphere to be pointed away from the sun, which creates winter and vise versa.
Chapter 17 Review
Our seasons occur because of this tilt. As the Earth revolves around the sun, the sun’s direct rays strike different latitudes. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, it receives the more direct and, therefore, more intense rays of the sun.

Seasons- Seasons result from annual variations in the intensity of sunlight and length of day due to the tilt of the axis of the Earth relative to the plane of its yearly orbit around the sun. Content Standards
