Unit 4 Lesson 1 Part II. Earth's Days, Years, and Seasons Copyright Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company Unit 4 Lesson 1 Earth's Days, Years, and Seasons Seasons change . What causes Seasons ? Most locations on Earth experience Seasons . Each season is characterized by a pattern of temperature and other weather trends. We experience Seasons due to changes in the intensity of sunlight and the number of daylight hours as Earth revolves around the sun. Copyright Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company Unit 4 Lesson 1 Earth's Days, Years, and Seasons What causes Seasons ? At an equinox, sunlight shines equally on the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Half of each hemisphere is lit, and half is in darkness. As Earth moves along its orbit, the sunlight reaches more of one hemisphere than the other. At a solstice, the area of sunlight is at a maximum in one hemisphere and at a minimum in the other hemisphere.
