Reason for the Seasons by Toni Riggs https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6 The portfolio for this lesson has been dropped for all students en-us 2021-01-29 21:28:12 UTC 2023-04-17 13:26:15 UTC hello@padlet.com Tilt = Earth's tilt like in the picture is what causes the sun to shine on different latitudes of the Earth and the latitude tells us how far north or south a place is from the equator. This affects the length of our days. triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142587984 2021-01-29 21:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142587984 Equator = is an imaginary line around the middle of a planet or other celestial body. It is halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole at 0 degrees latitude. This divides our planet into 2 hemispheres. triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142588296 2021-01-29 21:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142588296 Hemispheres = This is an imaginary division of Earth in 2 halves. triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142588530 2021-01-29 21:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142588530 Seasons = four different times during the year with different types of weather. These are caused by the Earth's orbit around the sun, its rotation on its axis, and its tilt. This picture below shows the months when the Northern Hemisphere experiences seasons. triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142588783 2021-01-29 21:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142588783 Equinox = This is when the sun passes directly over the equator. There are two equinoxes each year. On these days, the nights are equal in length North and South. 12 hours for day and 12 hours for night triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142589026 2021-01-29 21:31:50 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142589026 Winter Solstice = The time when the sun has the biggest distance from either the North or South Pole (tilted away from the sun) - happens 2 times a year.. once in each hemisphere. triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142589268 2021-01-29 21:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142589268 Summer solstice = Sometimes called "midsummer", occurs when one of the Earth's poles has its maximum tilt toward the sun. This happens twice yearly in both the North and South hemispheres. triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142589477 2021-01-29 21:32:04 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1142589477 triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150197815 2021-02-01 18:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150197815 triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150199041 2021-02-01 18:11:27 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150199041 triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150730785 2021-02-01 19:57:02 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150730785 triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150760654 2021-02-01 20:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150760654 triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150763532 2021-02-01 20:04:24 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150763532 triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150783985 2021-02-01 20:09:17 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150783985 triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150792796 2021-02-01 20:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150792796 triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150972740 2021-02-01 21:00:31 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1150972740 Exploration Activity triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1155618346 2021-02-02 19:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1155618346 triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1158484491 2021-02-03 13:07:28 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1158484491 Exploration Activity triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1164139124 2021-02-04 15:05:16 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1164139124 Exploration Activity triggs12 https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1164476471 2021-02-04 16:00:34 UTC https://padlet.com/triggs12/uk4xyie2wxxy1vz6/wish/1164476471
