Ar_t__ C__cle
It is located at approximately 66.5 degrees
north of the equator. It is the beginning
area where the sun will not rise during
winter solstice and will not set during
summer solstice.
E__at_r
This line of 0 degrees latitude is the
starting point when referring to other
points towards North or South pole of the
globe.

C_pr_c__n
It is located at approximately 23.5 degrees
south of the equator. This line marks the
point farthest to the south at which the sun
is hanging directly upward at noon.

It is located at approximately 66.5 degrees
south of the equator. No permanent
residents are found within the boundaries
of this latitude.

OBJECTIVES
identify the different seasons and
their characteristics
explain the reasons for Earth's
seasons
demonstrate an understanding of the
relationship between the tilt of
Earth's axis and the changing seasons.
The Seasons
EARTH'S SEASONS
Different places on Earth
experiences different
temperatures and varying
length of daytime
throughout the year. These
are brought about by the
changing seasons.

night are the same

weather gets warmer and
sunnier. Trees and plants
start to grow. Many animals
have their babies in spring.

is on June 21. Summer is
usually the warmest and the
sunniest time of the year.
Fruit grows on trees and
plants. Young animals grow

During autumn, the leaves

comes.
begins on the shortest day
of the year. In the north this
is on December 21. The
weather is colder and, in
some places, there is lots of
snow. Plants and trees stop
growing. Some animals, like
bats and bears, find places
to hide and sleep. This is
called hibernation.

Study Figure 1 carefully. It shows the Earth at different locations along its orbit around
the Sun. Note that the axis of Earth is not perpendicular to its plane of orbit; it is tilted.
The letter “N” refers to the North Pole while “S” refers to the South Pole.
Q1. In which month is the North Pole tilted toward the
Sun?
A.June B. December?
Q2. In which month is the North Pole tilted away from
the Sun?
A. June B. December?
Study Figure 2 carefully. The drawing shows how the Earth is oriented with respect to the
Sun during the month of June.
Q3. In June, which hemisphere receives direct rays
from the Sun ?
A. the Northern Hemisphere
B. Southern Hemisphere?
Study Figure 3 carefully. The drawing shows how the Earth is oriented with
respect to the Sun during the month of December.
Q4. In December, which hemisphere receives direct
rays from the Sun?
A. the Northern Hemisphere
B. Southern Hemisphere?
Spring Equinox
Autumn Equinox
DECEMBER 21/22
Autumn at the
north of the equator
and Spring at the
south of the
equator. The sun
shines equally on
the Southern and
Northern
Hemispheres.
Spring Equinox
Autumn Equinox
Vernal or Spring Equinox
EQUINOX
An equinox is one of
the two times of
the year when the
amount of daylight
and nighttime hours
are just about of
equal length.
Autumnal Equinox
SOLSTICE
a solstice is one of the two exact moments in the
year when the sun reaches its northernmost point
(around June 21, when the North Pole tilts closest
to the sun) or southernmost point (around December
22, during the winter solstice) from Earth’s equator.
