Hello Happy friends!
Are you ready to learn?
I’m Sarah, and Today, we’re going to learn a little more about the seasons, and to do this, we’re going to learn about the hemispheres.
-
We all know, that there are four seasons in a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter. And that each one of them has different weather conditions.
-
In winter, it’s very cold
In spring, temperatures start to rise, and of course, flowers start to blossom.
In summer, it’s usually extremely hot
And, in autumn, temperatures start to decrease, and leaves start falling from trees.
-
But… Did you know that the seasons don’t happen at the same time all over the world?
Nope! they don’t, so let’s find out why!
-
Planet Earth, has an axis, an imaginary line, where the earth spins around itself, in a rotational movement.
-
This axis is not up straight, it’s actually leaning, and depending on the month of the year, there are areas that receive more heat than others.
-
Our planet is also divided into two parts, separated by an imaginary line called equator.
This line, divides the earth into two hemispheres: the Northern Hemisphere, and the Southern Hemisphere.
-
Now, let’s see how our planet moves around the sun.
It’s what we call a translation movement.
-
As you can see, the sun heats the Earth, but not equally around the whole world.
Let’s stop the planet. Stop!
In this position, the northern hemisphere has more sun rays, because of the axis inclination.
And that means… We’re in summer! And meanwhile, in the southern hemisphere it’s winter.
buff I prefer summer!
-
But, what happens if the Earth rotates on the other side of the sun?
Well, there would be more rays in the southern hemisphere, meaning that in the northern hemisphere, it’s winter, and in the southern hemisphere, it’s summer.
Easy peasy huh?
Goodbye happy friends! See you next time!
I hope you’re always ready to learn!
Goodbye!
