A season is a quarter of a year with certain patterns of weather.

Seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth on its axis.

When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards The Sun the Northern Hemisphere is in summer and the Southern Hemisphere is in winter.

When the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards The Sun the Southern Hemisphere is in summer and the Northern Hemisphere is in winter.


The Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from The Sun so it is in winter. The rays of light are spread further apart when they hit the Earths surface in the Northern Hemisphere and closer together in the Southern Hemisphere.
