TRANSCRIPT
The Four SeasonsSpring, Summer, Autumn, Winter
Why do we have seasons?• We have seasons because the earth is tilted. It
goes around the sun and sometimes one part of
the earth is tilted more towards the sun making it
hotter (summer). The part that is farther from the
sun experiences winter. So far example, below the
northern hemisphere (us!) are having hotter
temperatures while the southern hemisphere is
having winter.
