Learning Objective

I can describe how Earth's movements cause daily and seasonal changes.

  • 1

    The seasons are caused by the Earth's tilt on its axis as it orbits the Sun.

  • 2

    When a hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it experiences summer, with warmer temperatures and longer days.

  • 3

    When a hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, it experiences winter, with cooler temperatures and shorter days.
