What is spring?

In most parts of the world, there are four seasons in

the year. The seasons repeat each year in the same

pattern spring comes before summer, summer comes

before fall, fall changes to winter, and winter changes

back to spring.

Each season has certain types

of weather. In spring, the

weather is warm and rainy.

Warmer weather

Spring is the season

that comes after winter.

Winter weather is cold.

During winter, people

usually spend a lot of

time inside. When

spring arrives, the

weather has begun to

warm up and people

start spending more

time outside to enjoy

the warmer weather.

Why do we have spring?

Earth rotates around the Sun once each year. As

Earth travels around the Sun, it spins on an imaginary

tilted axis . At different times of the year, parts of Earth

are tilted toward or away from the Sun as Earth rotates.

This is what causes 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.

Tilting toward

During spring in North America, the northern parts

of Earth begin to tilt toward the Sun. This means that

North America starts to get more hours of sunlight

and warmer days.

n

k

?

During spring, the Sun

begins to rise earlier in

the morning. The Sun

sets later in the evening.

Can you think of why?

With more sunlight and

warmer weather, spring

flowers and plants begin

to grow.

When is spring?

In North America, the first day of spring is in March.

Like each season, spring lasts for about three months.

During this time, North America tilts closer to the Sun
