1) Text: " Zones and Seasons"
1. The tilt of the Earth's axis with respect to the Sun determines the seasons. Spring,
Summer, Autumn (Fall) and Winter are commonly marked in the North Temperate Zone.
There, Spring begins at the vernal equinox, Summer at the summer solstice, Autumn at the
autumn equinox and Winter at the winter solstice.
2. In the South Temperate Zone, the seasons are reversed.
3. The points where the Sun crosses the equator are the equinoxes, when day and night
are nearly equal. The points where the Sun is at a maximum distance from the equator are
solstices. Days and nights then, have very different duration
4. In June, the North Pole is tilted 23° 27' (twentu-three degrees and twenty-seven
minutes) toward the Sun. The days in the Northern Hemisphere are long and the nights are
short, while the days in the Southern Hemisphere are short and the nights are long.
