Reasons for Seasons

The four seasons happen because of the tilt of the Earth’s axis. At different times of the year, the Sun’s rays hit different parts of the globe more directly. The angle of the Earth’s axis tilts the northern hemisphere towards the Sun during the summer.

Without the tilt of the Earth’s axis, we wouldn’t have seasons. Instead, the areas around the equator would receive the most sun and the northern and southern hemispheres would be stuck in a gradual gradient of hot to cold. The seasons would not change, it would be about the same temperature year round and there would be no seasons.

Is it true that the earth is closer to the Sun in winter?

Because of its elliptical orbit, the Earth is closer to the Sun during the northern hemisphere’s winter. However, distance from the Sun does not affect the seasons. The tilt of the Earth’s axis causes the seasons to change.

Choose the correct alternative according to the text.

A
The tilt of the Earth’s axis is what makes the four seasons.

B
The Earth is far away from the Sun during the northern hemisphere’s winter.

C
The Sun’s rays always hit the same parts of the globe more directly during the year.

D
The distance from the Sun is responsible for the seasons.
