The seasons affect many parts of our daily lives,

do and the things we see all around us.
Seasons are a period of the year characterized by
particular conditions of weather and temperature
There are four different seasons in every year

We have seasons because Earth's axis , the
imaginary line that goes through the Earth
and around which the Earth spins , is tilted.
It's tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to our
plane of orbit around the Sun.

The sun rises earlier in the morning and sets
later in the afternoon
The days get a little warmer
Spring flowers appear
Birds start to build their nests
Weather in spring can be very varied. There
may be days when it is cold enough to snow,
and days when it is warm enough to play out
in the garden. Spring months can also be very
windy

The days are short and sometimes very cold.
Sometimes the winter rain will turn to sleet

ice on the ground.
Winter weather in our area is often cold and
wet.
