What Causes The Different Seasons?

Answer Question

6 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The Earth's axial tilt causes the Sunlight fall on it at a certain slant and as the Earth rotates around the sun in an elliptical orbit it's distance from the Sun varies. When the Earth gets close to the Sun the average global temperature is increased and we have Summers and as the Earth moves away from the Sun we end up having winters as the cumulative effect of Sunlight decreases.

      Our year is divided up by four different seasons. These are, winter, spring, summer and autumn and every year, without fail, we can expect to experience these four seasons. The reason we have four seasons is because as the earth orbits the sun, different parts of the planet face towards or way from it. As this happens the different parts of the earth receive varying amounts of heat. The earth is tilted at an angle and always tilts the same way. This means that when the earth is on one side of the sun, the Northern Hemisphere leans towards the sun and experiences what we know as summer.
      At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere, or the other side of the earth, is leaning away from the sun, and so is having the opposite climate effect, so it would be winter on this part of the world.
      Approximately six months later, the earth is on the other side of the sun and the situations are reversed. Spring begins in a hemisphere at the moment at which it starts to lean towards the sun, which is why after the winter months, we begin to feel warmer and plants start to bud. As the earth moves slowly away from the sun, it is then that we begin to feel the air cooling down, which is what we call autumn, or fall if you are American. For those who grumble about the hot weather, it would be important to remember that without the earth orbiting the sun, we wouldn't have a planet because the sun is our vital source of energy.

        Earth experiences fall, winter, spring and summer every year. When we wonder why, they only answer that comes to our head is that, earth is round and it revolves around the sun. Every time its position changes, the weather changes. To simply put it, when ever it is directly facing the sun we experience summer and when it is not we experience winter. But have you ever imagines that when you are experiencing summer, another part of the world is experiencing winter as they are not facing the sun. This is because the earth not only makes revolutions around the sun but also rotates in circles. This way, the earth is divided in to the southern and northern hemisphere. So when the either of the Hemispheres is experiencing winter the other will experience summer. The four seasons are basically caused due to the tilt of the earth on it axis. This causes the earth's orbit around the sun and cause different seasons.

        Read Gen.1:14-18 God created lights to divide day and night, for seasons, signs, and days, and years. The greater light the sun the lessor light the moon. The moon is not a ball of fire like the sun, it gets its light reflected from the sun.Gen.1:16. The stars are really suns to other solar systems. The sun, the moon and the stars are the rulers of day and night. Each one having its own unique government in their functions as God created them for His purpose! 1Cor.15:39-41. All functioning perfectly by His will and spoken Word! How glorious!!!...Genaveve
