This is our planet Earth.
It has the shape of a sphere, like a ball.
The equator divides the Earth into two halves.
The northern half is the northern hemisphere.
The southern half is the southern hemisphere.
Europe and Asia are both in the northern hemisphere.
Australia and a third of Africa are in the southern hemisphere.
-What divide the earth into two halves? –the equator.
-Europe and Asia are in which hemisphere? –They are both in the northern hemisphere.
The Earth moves in two ways.
First it spins or rotates.
It rotates around its axis.
The axis is a line through its center.
It takes the Earth 24 hours to complete a rotation.
That is the length of one day.
-Around what does the earth rotate? –It rotates around its axis. A day is 24 hours long.
Second the Earth travels around the Sun.
It takes about 365 days for the Earth to go around the Sun.
That is the length of one year.
Its average speed during the year is about 30 km/s.
-How long does it take for the earth to go around the sun? -365 days.
The length of one year is about 365 days.
The Earth’s axis is not perpendicular to the Sun.
The Earth’s axis is tilted.
It is tilted at an angle of around 23.5 degrees.
This tilt causes the seasons of the year.
-What causes the seasons of the year? –The earth’s axis is tilted.
-What does the earth’s tilt cause? –the seasons of the year.
During part of the year, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun.
When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it’s summer.
When the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, it’s winter.
This is why the seasons are opposite for the northern and southern hemispheres.
When it’s summer in Australia it’s winter in Europe.
-What season is it in Europe when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun? –It’s summer.
-When it’s summer in Australia, what season is it in Europe? -When it’s summer in Australia it’s winter in Europe.
In winter the earth tilts away from the sun.
What would happen if the Earth’s tilt were different than it is now?
If the Earth’s tilt were larger, summers would be hotter.
If the Earth’s tilt were smaller, summers would be cooler.
If the Earth had no tilt at all, there would be no seasons.
Therefore the angle of the tilt is very important for life in the Earth.
-Why is the angle of tilt important for life on earth? –the seasons depend on it.
How many seasons would there be if the earth has no tilt?
The Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun.
The Sun is at the center of our solar system.
Our solar system has several planets which orbit around it.
Our planet is the third planet from the Sun.
-What orbits around the sun? –several planets.
-What is at the center of our solar system? -The Sun is at the center of our solar system.
If the Earth were closer to the Sun, our planet would be hotter.
If the Earth were farther from the Sun, our planet would be colder.
Therefore the distance between the Earth and the Sun is very important.
-What would happen if the earth were farther from the sun? –Our planet would be colder.
Winter is the coldest time of the year.
Winter nights are long and the days are short.
Summer is the hottest time of the year.
Summer nights are short and the days are long.

Some countries have a rainy season.
In rainy season it rains almost every day.
Autumn is also called fall.
