What is summer?

Summer brings a lot of

sunlight, so flowers are

in full bloom .

Summer is one of the four seasons of the year.

It always comes after spring. The seasons repeat

the same pattern each year. Spring comes before

summer, summer changes to fall, fall changes to

winter, and winter turns back to spring.

Feeling hot

Summer is the hottest season of the year. People

usually spend a lot of time outside. When people go

outside, they must wear light clothing, such as shorts

and T-shirts. What do you wear when you go outside

to play on a hot summer day?

Why do we have summer?

It takes Earth one year to travel around the Sun. Earth

is tilted slightly as its moving. This causes parts of Earth

to receive more sunlight at different times of the year.

The different amounts of sunlight changes the 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 toward

During summer in North America, the northern parts

of Earth are tilted toward the Sun. They are getting hot

temperatures and more daylight hours. The southern

parts, such as South America, are tilted away from the

Sun. This means they are getting cold temperatures and

less hours of daylight.

What do you

t h i n k ?

Hot weather and

plenty of sunshine are

signs that summer has

arrived. Can you think

of some other signs

of summer?

When is summer?

In North America, the first day of summer is in

June. All the seasons, including summer, last for

three months. During summer, the Sun rises early

and sets late, so the days are long. Warm nights

are a sign that summer has arrived.
