What causes Spring?

• At this time of the year, the sun points a little north to the equator; this causes for moderate weather
• Around March, there's the vernal equinox: worldwide, the amount of day and the amount of night are nearly equal

Weather

What is it?

Weather describes the state of the atmosphere at a given point in time and geographic location Studying weather allows us to estimate the expected conditions by using similar weather conditions from past weather events

Factors:

• Solar Radiation
• Landscape Variation

• Earth's Ocean (water)

Chilly Season

• When the Northern Hemisphere tilts away from the sun, it is winter (for the Northern Hemisphere)
• Sun's rays hit the earth at a more slanted angle, so there is less heat recieved
• The nights will be longer too 🌚

When is Summer 🥵

• At this time of the year, the North Pole tilts toward the sun (for Northern Hemisphere/us)
• Sun's rays go directly towards this area
• The results are high temperatures and longer days 🌞

Question 1

What are seasons the result of?

result of earth's tilted axis

Fall off

• Similar to Spring, this season will occur when the Sun aligned slightly below the equator.
• There will be colder days (not too cold) and leaves will start to turn yellow and orange because of this temperature drop
• Fall Equinox

Question 3

How long is a day on Earth?

24 hours

Earth's Tilt

Explanation:

Equator

• An "axis is an invisible line around which an object rotates.
• Earth's axis is 23.5 degrees and goes through the planet's center of mass (point of balance)
• Earth spins around this axis every 24 hours (That's a Day 😁) - called "Rotation Period"
• The point at which the axis meets the Earth's surfaces are the North and South poles 🥶

Fun Facts?

• In picture, a red line is typically used to represent the axis
• The axis actually varies from 22 - 24.5 degrees
• This is called "axial precession"
• The tilt was a result of "Theia"
