Season Vocabulary
• Equator – Imaginary line which separates the Northern from the Southern Hemisphere
• Earth rotates around an imaginary line running through its center called an axis of rotation.
• The ends of the axis are the north and south poles.
• Earth turns/rotates on its axis once in 24 hours.

Season Vocabulary
• The side of the Earth in the sunlight is called daytime.
• The side of the Earth in the darkness is nighttime.
• Earth’s rotation is reason for day & night• The Earth is tilted at about a 23 ½ degree
angle from its orbit around the Sun.• Earth’s tilted axis and orbit cause seasons

Season Vocabulary
• A revolution is the motion of one object around another once.
• It takes one year for Earth to make one revolution around the Sun or 365 ¼ days.
• Leap year every 4 years – add up ¼ days• Earth travels in an elliptical orbit around the sun. It
resembles an elongated oval-shape. Out of all the planets, Earth’s orbit is the closest to a perfect circle.
• Earth is the 3rd planet from the sun.

Season Vocabulary
• Solstice – Period of time when one hemisphere gets its maximum area of sunlight, while the other hemisphere gets its minimum amount; the time of year when days are either longest or shortest and the angle of sunlight reaches its maximum or minimum. Winter & Summer – usually 21st of December and June
• Earth is closest to the sun in December but Northern Hemisphere is tilted away – winter solstice – colder temperatures/shorter days
• Earth is furthest from the sun in June but Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun – hotter temps./longer days – summer solstice

Season Vocabulary
• Equinox – Period of time in an orbit in which sunlight shines equally on the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere; a time of year when daylight and darkness are nearly equal for most of the Earth. (Happens twice a year). Spring & Fall or March & September
• Equinox means literally – “equal night”

Season Vocabulary
• Together the tilt of the Earth and the angle of sunlight are the reason for seasons on Earth!
