Orbital Seasons

Orbital seasons are the seasons that happen when Earth orbits around the Sun. Earth's seasons has a lot to do with how the Earth is tilted at a 23.5 degree angle. There are four seasons in total. There is spring, summer, fall and winter. These four seasons are determined by the position of Earth in space and where the equator is located. When spring or summer comes around to the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun's rays directly hit the Earth. This is because the Earth is tilted in such a way that the rays are hitting the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere are getting less light. Days last longer in the spring and summer and the weather is much hotter. After that the roles are reversed. In the fall and winter, daylight starts to shorten, days are shorter and temperatures starts to lower.
