The SeasonsWhy equator hot and poles cold?
Weather: due to the uneven heating of the earth’s surface
Direct rays
Indirect rays
Indirect rays
Heat energy spread outcooling effect
Heat energyconcentrated

The SeasonsSeasons: winter, spring, summer, fall (autumn);
changes in precipitation and temperature during the year.
Cause of the Seasons: tilt of the earth’s axis
Earth’s Tilt: 23.5° from vertical
0° tilt: spring, fall only
23.5° tilt: moderate temperatures
winter (cold), spring, summer (warm), fall
35°- 45° tilt: extreme temperatures
winter (v. cold), spring, summer (v. hot), fall
IMPORTANT:
north pole axis facing Sun: Summer
north pole axis facing away from Sun: Winter
Seasons NOT caused by change in Earth’s distance from the Sun
Earth farthest from Sun: summer (Northern Hemisphere)
Earth closest to Sun: winter (Northern Hemisphere)
