What causes the seasons on Earth?

• Seasons occur because the Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.4 degrees and different parts of the Earth receive more solar energy than others.

STATIONS IN FLORIDA

Florida experiences a subtropical climate, which means it has distinct seasons throughout the year. Winter (December to February): Winters in Florida are mild compared to other parts of the country. Average daytime temperatures typically range from 15 to 25 degrees Celsius, although upstate temperatures can occasionally dip below 0 degrees Celsius on cooler nights. Spring (March to May): During the spring, temperatures begin to rise gradually. The days are warm and sunny, with daytime temperatures ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. It's a pleasant season with lush flora.

STATIONS IN FLORIDA

Summer (June to August): Summer in Florida is hot and humid. Daytime temperatures typically exceed 30 degrees Celsius, with high humidity rates. Afternoons can bring thunderstorms and brief but heavy showers. Autumn (September to November): Autumn marks a gradual decline in temperatures. Although daytime temperatures can still be warm, especially in the early season, nights tend to be cooler. Hurricane season also coincides with fall in Florida.

SC.8.E.5.1 Recognize that there are enormous distances between objects in space and apply our knowledge of light and space travel to understand this distance. SC.8.E.5.10 Assess how technology is essential to science for such purposes as access to outer space and other remote locations, sample collection, measurement, data collection and storage, computation, and communication of information. SC.8.E.5.11 Identify and compare characteristics of the electromagnetic spectrum such as wavelength, frequency, use, and hazards and recognize its application to an understanding of planetary images and satellite photographs. SC.8.E.5.12 Summarize the effects of space exploration on the economy and culture of Florida. SC.8.E.5.2 Recognize that the universe contains many billions of galaxies and that each galaxy contains many billions of stars. SC.8.E.5.3 Distinguish the hierarchical relationships between planets and other astronomical bodies relative to solar system, galaxy, and universe, including distance, size, and composition. SC.8.E.5.4 Explore the Law of Universal Gravitation by explaining the role that gravity plays in the formation of planets, stars, and solar systems and in determining their motions. SC.8.E.5.5 Describe and classify specific physical properties of stars: apparent magnitude (brightness), temperature (color), size, and luminosity (absolute brightness). SC.8.E.5.6 Create models of solar properties including: rotation, structure of the Sun, convection, sunspots, solar flares, and prominences. SC.8.E.5.7 Compare and contrast the properties of objects in the Solar System including the Sun, planets, and moons to those of Earth, such as gravitational force, distance from the Sun, speed, movement, temperature, and atmospheric conditions. SC.8.E.5.8 Compare various historical models of the Solar System, including geocentric and heliocentric. SC.8.E.5.9 Explain the impact of objects in space on each other including: 1. the Sun on the Earth including seasons and gravitational attraction 2. the Moon on the Earth, including phases, tides, and eclipses, and the relative position of each body.
