Do you get excited with change of seasons?

We all know that the tilt of the axis of the earth causes the effect on change of seasons. If the axis was straight up and down, we wouldn’t have got so many seasons because in that case every spot on the planet would have got 12 hours of sunlight and 12 hours of night, and, apart from storm systems, temperatures would be fairly uniform and life in the world would have been so monotonous and boring that any country or location you travel, it would have been the same kind of climate and season and we would have missed this geographical diversity we have all over the world.

If you observe on the two equinoxes (March and September, usually on the 21st) the planet is positioned so that the tilt doesn’t matter that means it’s effectively the same as our “no tilt” scenario above, in that the whole planet has 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night. On the Summer Solstice (June 21st,) the northern pole is “pointed” at the sun, and, as a result, sees 24 hours of sun and no night (which is not too exciting — the sun is very low on the horizon, here’s a video, though it is of Yellowknife, NT Canada, so not north of the Arctic Circle and doesn’t have 24 hours of sunlight, probably closer to 20 hours)

When we look at the picture above showing the same location with different seasons causing different effects of the climate. All this beauty of the nature which keeps changing its seasons in every continent is so exciting that we can enjoy different seasons at the same location of a country in the world.

The four seasons vary significantly in characteristics.The passing of a year can bring a marked change in the weather and the surrounding environment. The four seasons namely spring, summer, autumn and winter can vary significantly in characteristics, and can prompt changes in the world around them. Let's take an overview of these four separate periods.

The annual cycle : Attributes of the seasons may vary by location, but there are still broad definitions that cross most of the boundaries. In the spring, seeds take root and vegetation begins to grow. The weather is warmer, and often wetter. Animals wake or return from warmer climates, often with newborns.

In the summer however, the temperatures may increase to their hottest of the year. If they spike too high, heat waves or droughts may cause trouble for people, animals, and plants.

In the autumn, or fall, temperatures cool again. Plants may begin to grow dormant. Animals might prepare themselves for the upcoming cold weather, storing food or traveling to warmer regions. Various cultures have celebrated bountiful harvests with annual festivals. Thanksgiving is a good example. "Thanksgiving in the United States is a historical commemoration but it has a spiritual dimension strongly associated with homecoming and giving praise for what has been bestowed upon us”.

Winter often brings a chill. Some areas may experience snow or ice, while others see only cold rain. Animals find ways to warm themselves, and may have changed their appearance to adapt.
