Day and Night and the Four Seasons


  • day one complete rotation of the earth which takes 24 hours
  • sun doesn’t really move. When places facing the sun
    = daytime. When places face away the sun into dark space = night time
  • year = takes 365 days for earth to orbit once around the sun.
  • seasons = caused by tilt of the earth’s axis .

 

    Summer:

  • when summer in UK, the northern hemisphere (everything above the equator ) is tilted towards the sun .
  • northern half of earth spends more time in sunlight = longer days, shorter nights = more hours of sunshine = land heats up.
  • suns rays cover a small area of land = radiation is focused = warm = summer

 

    Winter:

  • when winter in the UK, the northern hemisphere tilted away from the sun.
  • north spends less time in sunlight = shorter days, longer nights.
  • Suns rays cover larger area = radiation more spread out = colder = winter
