Weekly Blog (5/5/19) Seasons

Summary:
The seasons on earth are caused by the earth axis being tilted and the revolving around the sun. When it is at a different position around the sun (as shown in the diagram)the different hemispheres will get more or less direct sunlight. The earth is tilted at approximately 23.5 degrees and if it was more, then our seasons would be more extreme. If it was less, then our seasons would be less extreme.
S&EP:
This week we used online gizmo simulators to explore how season work and how direct sunlight changes the temperatures on earth.

XCC:
This is cause and effect because the earth's tilt and revolving around the earth causes seasons and for it to get hotter and colder in different positions around the sun.
