<p>It is nice to love every season, because each one has its own feeling and joy that makes it special.</p>

|
<h2>Start and End</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>When each season begins and ends is not the same everywhere!</p>
|
|
<p>Some countries choose different dates, or even have different seasons, but in the USA:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Spring begins at the spring <a href="#def">equinox</a> (equinox is when day and night have the same length)</li>
|
|
<li>Summer begins at summer <a href="#def">solstice</a> (the longest daytime of the year)</li>
|
|
<li>Autumn begins at the autumnal equinox (day and night the same length again)</li>
|
|
<li>Winter begins at winter solstice (the shortest daytime of the year)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Meteorologists (people who study the weather) use a simpler system of whole months like this:</p>

<h2>Why Does it Get Hotter and Colder?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Because the Earth is tilted in relation to the Sun!</p>
|
|
<p>At some time of the year your place will get more sun (the days are longer and the nights shorter) ... this gradually warms up everything around you.</p>
|
|
<p>But later in the year the days get shorter (and the nights get longer) and so everything cools down.</p>
|
|
<p>This animation shows you why:</p>

<p>Equinox: The time of the year when day and night are each 12 hours long and the Sun is at the midpoint of the sky.</p>
