Best Answer

The four major seasons are Spring, Summer, Autumn (Fall), and Winter.

Each season lasts about three months. Changes in temperature and length of daylight happen during each season. The spring and fall are midway periods between the extremes of heat (summer) and cold (winter).

  1. Spring - brings the first warm days of the year after cold months. This is the season when plants are in bloom while animals mate and raise their young.
  2. Summer - the hottest time of the year. There are more hours of daytime than nighttime. Plants continue to bloom and crops in the field are ready for harvest.
  3. Autumn/Fall - the season when leaves wither and fall to the ground. The weather becomes colder. Animals start to store food. Others migrate to warmer places to escape the cold.
  4. Winter - the coldest time of the year. Hours of nighttime are longer than hours of daytime. Some animals hibernate or sleep througout the season. Some plants become dormant.

Causes of the Seasons

The cause of the seasons is the tilt of the Earth's axis of rotation (line from one pole to the other) with respect to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. During the course of the year, this changes the length of the day, and the angle of the Sun's rays, for all locations except those in the tropics near the equator.

The seasons are not experienced the same way in every location, due to winds, currents, and local weather patterns. The seasons are reversed north or south of the equator : when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.

  • Summer: the Sun's rays are more directly overhead, temperatures are warm, days are longer
  • Fall : the Sun's rays are less directly overhead, temperatures become cooler, days become shorter
  • Winter: the Sun is farthest from directly overhead, temperatures are lowest, days are shortest
  • Spring: the Sun becomes higher in the sky, temperatures become warmer, days become longer
