What Are the Four Seasons?
There are four seasons every year. They are called spring, summer, autumn (also called fall), and winter. Each season is different and has its own weather and changes in nature.
1. Spring
Spring comes after winter. The days start getting warmer, flowers bloom, and trees get new green leaves. Animals wake up from sleeping (called hibernation) and baby animals are often born in spring.
2. Summer
Summer is the warmest season. The days are long, and the sun shines bright. People like to play outside, go swimming, and have fun in the sun. Fruits like watermelons and berries grow during summer.
3. Autumn (Fall)
Autumn is when the weather starts to get cooler. Leaves on trees change colors to red, orange, and yellow and then fall to the ground. It is the time when farmers harvest fruits and vegetables like pumpkins and apples.
4. Winter
Winter is the coldest season. Sometimes it snows and the ground may be covered with ice. People wear warm clothes like coats, hats, and gloves. Some animals stay inside or hibernate to keep warm.
Why Do Seasons Happen?
Seasons happen because the Earth moves around the Sun and tilts on its axis. This makes different parts of the Earth get more or less sunlight during the year, causing the seasons to change.
Isn’t it fun to see how nature changes during each season?
