What is a season?

• The seasons are created based on the tilt of the
  Earth.
• Each hemisphere of the Earth experiences the four
  seasons at different times of the year, depending
  on which part of the world is tilted towards the
  sun.

Fall

• Leaves turn brown, red, yellow and purple and
  fall off the trees.
• Neither hemisphere is more tilted towards the
  sun, so there are no extreme hot or cold
  temperatures.
• Fall starts September 22nd.
• Halloween is during the fall.

Winter

• The weather is so cold, the rivers, lakes and
  ponds freeze and there is lots of snow.
• The Northern Hemisphere is tilted farther from
  the sun.
• Days are very short, and the sun isnt out much.
• Winter starts on December 21st.
• Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa are all in
  winter.

Spring

• Plants begin to grow in the spring, usually
  helped along by lots of rain and melting snow.
• In spring, both hemispheres are equally close to
  the sun.
• Spring starts March 20th.
• Easter is celebrated in the spring.

6
Summer

• Summer has very warm, sunny weather.
• Days are longer, so the sun is out longer!
• The North Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun.
• The first day of summer is June 21st.
• One of the most celebrated holidays of summer is
  Independence Day.
