Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can explain Earth’s movement and how the Sun gives us night and day and the seasons.

Show transcript
We have seasons because Earth is tilted on its axis as it orbits the Sun each year. Each season has its own weather patterns and we can use weather data to talk about this. When the North Pole is tilted away from the Sun, UK days have fewer hours of daylight, are colder, and it’s winter. When the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun, UK days have more hours of daylight, are warmer, and it’s summer.
