Morning Starters: Summer 2 - Four Seasons
Did You Know?
The Earth experiences four seasons: autumn, winter, spring, and summer. These are distinct periods of the year, each marked by specific weather conditions. The seasons occur because of the Earth’s tilt as it moves around the sun. Seasons affect all living things: plants grow, flower, and rest; animals migrate, hibernate, or perform remarkable feats to find food. The changing seasons have a significant impact on how plants and animals behave, contributing to the diversity of life on Earth.
