What is winter?

Winter is the coldest season of

the year. It always comes after

fall and before spring. Every

year, spring changes into

summer and summer changes

into fall. Fall turns into winter

and winter turns back to spring.

What do you

t h i n k ?

Do you notice a pattern,

or cycle, to the seasons?

Spring

Summer

Fall

Winter

Cold outside

During winter, the

weather is cold and

snow falls on the ground.

People usually spend

more time inside. When

people go outside, they

must wear warm clothes,

such as jackets, hats,

and scarves. What do

you wear when you go

outside during winter?

The Sun still shines in winter,

but the air is very cold.

Why do we have winter?

Every year Earth takes months to circle around the

Sun. As its moving around the Sun, Earth spins on a

tilted axis , or imaginary line. This causes different parts

of Earth to get more sunlight at different times of the year.

The different amounts of sunlight gives us our seasons.

In fall, North America

begins to tilt away

from the Sun.

In summer, North

America is tilted

toward the Sun.

In winter, North

America is tilted

away from the Sun.

In spring, North

America begins to

tilt toward the Sun.

America

Tilted away

During winter in North

America, the northern

parts of Earth are tilted

away from the Sun. This

means the days have

less sunlight and cold

temperatures. The

southern parts of Earth

are tilted toward the

Sun. This means they

are getting summer

with hot temperatures

and longer days.

What do you

t h i n k ?

Cold winds and falling snow

are signs that winter has

arrived. What are some

other signs of winter?
