Opposite Seasons
Open to everyone until Wednesday, September 30
To keep it, print it while it is open.
When one half of Earth leans toward the Sun, it gets strong, straight sunlight. The other half gets weak, slanted sunlight, so the two halves have opposite seasons.
Examples
- In July, some children play outside in summer clothes while children on the other half of Earth wear coats.
- One half has summer holidays while the other half has winter holidays.
Key takeaways
- Earth’s tilt makes one half face the Sun more directly.
- The half with slanted sunlight gets less warmth and has the opposite season.
