Seasons - Gizmo Paragraph
Many different situations might be able to cause the seasons to change but there is one real reason that the seasons change with many little factors that help them change. The seasons change because the earth is always revolving around the sun. When the Earth is revolving around the Sun it takes about three hundred-sixty- five days (which makes up one year) and during those days different parts of the Earth are facing the Sun which defines the seasons. When the southern hemisphere is facing the Sun that means that it is summer, which means that the northern hemisphere is going through winter. The seasons are opposite because the Earth is tilted on it's axis (about a 23.5 degree angle) which results in opposite seasons throughout the year in different parts of the world. When the southern hemisphere is angled more at the sun they are getting more direct sunlight making it warmer which means that the northern hemisphere is getting less direct sunlight making it colder then when there's more direct sunlight. There are many diffeerent factors to why the seasons change and are different in different parts of the world but they all are caused because of the Earth's revolution around the sun.
