๐ Topic Summary
Our Earth has seasons because it's tilted on its axis and revolves around the sun. As the Earth orbits, different parts of the planet get more direct sunlight, causing changes in temperature and weather. We experience spring, summer, autumn (fall), and winter as the Earth travels its yearly path around the sun. Understanding the seasons helps us know what to expect each time of year, like when plants grow, when animals hibernate, and what clothes to wear!
