The Four Seasons

Do you know that the different seasons are caused by the movements of the Earth and its position in relation to the Sun ? When the North Pole begins to slant toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere start to receive the most sunlight and Spring begins, followed by Summer. When it begins to slant away from the sun, the Northern Hemisphere receives the least sunlight and Fall begins, followed by Winter.

The poles, have only two seasons: a short light season, in which the sun shines almost all day, and a dark season, in which the sun almost never shine.

The seasons in the Northern hemisphere

Winter - begins on the winter solstice, on December 22 or 23.
Spring - begins on the vernal equinox, on March 20 or 21.
Summer - begins on the summer solstice, on June 21 or 22.
Fall - begins on the autumnal equinox, on September 22 or 23.

I live in the Southern hemisphere. To know when the seasons begin here, just reverse the seasons. For instance, when it's Winter in the Northern hemisphere, it's Summer here in the Southern. :o)
