SEASONS
Nicolai Copernicus
(1473-1543) changed our understanding of astronomy when he proposed that the
sun, not Earth, was the center of the solar system. This led to our modern
understanding of the relationship between the sun and Earth.
We now know that Earth orbits
the sun elliptically and at the same time, spins on an axis that is tilted. The
tilting of the Earth as it spins causes the seasons to change. This means that
different hemispheres are exposed to different amounts of sunlight throughout
the year. When Earth's Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, there
are fewer hours of daylight and the temperature is colder. When the Northern
Hemisphere tilts towards the sun, there is more daylight time and the
temperatures are warmer because the sun is our source of light, energy and
heat, the changing intensity and concentration of its rays give rise to the
seasons of winter, spring, summer and fall. The seasons are a powerful force in
our lives. They affect the activities we do, the foods we crave, the clothes we
wear- and quite often, the moods we are in.
Spring
falls between winter and summer. It rules over the months of March and April.
In India, it is honoured as the King of the seasons. Spring is a beautiful
season. It is a season bursting with flowers and new life. Many different kinds
of flower bloom in spring. Swarms of
bees rush at them. Spring's gentle breeze, blooming flowers and green grass tell us
it's time to go outdoors, breathe fresh air, and bask in warm sunshine.
Autumn brings lots of changes. The
trees begin to change colors, bringing a beautiful array of different colored
foliage, which eventually drops off into our yards. It also brings cooler
temperatures, and, as it progresses, we begin to put away our summer cloths and
we bring out our warm sweaters and heavy blankets. As the frost bites at the apples on the trees
they become sweet, crisp and juicy. The autumn leaves are as orange as a
pumpkin. The weather is as crisp as fresh lettuce. The scarecrows blow in the
wind like big rag dolls.
During the winter months, temperatures are
usually colder and there are fewer hours of daylight. The winter months in the Northern
hemisphere are December, January, February, and sometimes even March. Animals
have special ways of preparing themselves for winter. Some animals, like birds
and butterflies travel long distances, or migrate, to warmer temperatures during the winter months. Other
animals go to sleep, or hibernate,
during the winter. Bears, gophers, snakes,
and bats hibernate. Squirrels and raccoons don't migrate or hibernate. Instead,
they gather extra food during the fall months and store it away so they have
plenty to eat during the long winter months. In some areas, winter is a time
when snow falls and gathers on the ground. People who live in these places can
enjoy special winter activities like skiing, sledding, or snowboarding. They
can also build snowmen and snow castles. When the water in lakes and ponds
freeze, people can ice skate or play ice hockey. Some people even cut a hole in
the ice and go ice fishing!
