GRATITUDE

First of all, thank God for giving me life and allowing me to fulfill my goals.

To my parents for having given me the support to complete this part of my studies.

I would also like to thank the teacher for the support he has given in this short time.

 INTRODUCTION

Each station is different so we can enjoy each of them in several ways, they are good for
the life of every living being.

During the orbit of the Earth on its axis inclined around the Sun four main positions are
produced that give rise to four different periods throughout the year. These periods are
known as spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons.

The seasons are periods of time throughout the year that maintain particular climatic
conditions in certain regions. They occur in the order indicated below (spring-summer-
autumn-winter) defining a landscape with its own characteristics in terms of light, color,
temperature, rainfall, etc.

The seasons favor the life cycles of plants and animals, allowing the balance of the planet.

The existence of periods of the year with higher temperatures and others with lower
temperatures enables life on Earth as we know it.

1
 THE SEASONS OF THE YEAR

In general, we speak of four seasons of about three months each.

The four seasons are: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The first two make up the half
year in which the days last longer than the nights, while in the other two the nights are
longer than the days.

FIG. 01: THE FOUR SEASONS

A. SPRING:
It is one of the four seasons of the temperate zones of planet Earth, after winter and before
summer. The term premium comes from "primer" and vera from "verdor".

A.1. Period of duration

Astronomically, this season begins with the spring equinox (between March 20 and 21 in
the northern hemisphere, and between September 21 and 23 in the southern hemisphere),
and ends with the summer solstice (around June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere and
December 21 in the Southern Hemisphere).

A.2. Features

With regard to climate, the slow and progressive increase in temperatures is common as
the weeks progress, with some interspersed period in which the winter environment may
"reappear" due to some residual cold air masses. The leaves and flowers of deciduous
trees grow back gradually, coloring the landscape again after winter.

B. SUMMER
It is the season of the year that takes place between spring and autumn. It is the warmest
time of the year, with the highest thermal marks. In the northern hemisphere, summer
takes place between June, July and August, while in the southern hemisphere, it
corresponds to December, January and February.

B.1. Period of duration

During this period, the days lengthen (in relation to the other stations) and the nights last
less hours. The solstice (which in the southern hemisphere occurs on December 21, while
in the north is on June 21) defines the beginning of summer, which lasts until March 21
(in the southern hemisphere) or on the 21st of September (in the northern hemisphere).

B.2. Features
Summer is associated, in general, with holidays and leisure. The high temperatures
facilitate outdoor life and invite people to enjoy the beach, parks or walks in general.
Summer usually appears linked to fun and joy while, on the other hand, winter is related
to sadness.

Traveling to the beach to enjoy the sun and enjoy the sand and the sea is one of the most
frequent summer activities.

C. AUTUMN:
Autumn begins to be identified as a season in regions with agriculture that produces fruit
in this season.

It is located between summer and winter. From this season temperatures begin to get
colder.

C.1. Period of duration

The season begins with the autumn equinox (between March 20 or 21 in the Southern
Hemisphere and between September 22 and 23 in the northern hemisphere), and ends
with the winter solstice (around June 21 in the southern hemisphere and the northern
hemisphere on December 21).

C.2. Features
At this time of year the trees lose their leaves and their greenness, the energy that was
previously concentrated in the leaves is collected to the roots to stay during the cold
months. The leaves of the trees change and their green color turns yellow until they dry
and fall helped by the wind that blows with greater force and the temperature begins to
be a bit cold.

D. WINTER
Winter is one of the four seasons of temperate climate. This season is characterized by
shorter days, longer nights and lower temperatures as we move away from the Equator.
In some countries of the intertropical zone the term of rainy season is used to denominate
a time of greater precipitation.

D.1. Period of duration

From an astronomical point of view, it begins with the winter solstice, on December 22
in the northern hemisphere and on June 21 in the southern hemisphere, and ends with the
spring equinox, around March 21 in the northern hemisphere and September 21 in the
southern hemisphere, varying the dates slightly according to the year. In summary, winter
lasts approximately four more days in the southern hemisphere than in the northern
hemisphere.

D.2. Feautures
Winter is the coldest season of the year, and its characteristics are inevitably defined in
contrast to the other seasons of the year; since during the winter days the temperatures
are lower and there are fewer hours of sunlight. These characteristics are accentuated as
we move away from the tropics and get closer to the polar circles.

 CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF THE SEASONS

Due to climatic differences, we can say that the year is divided into four seasons, namely:
summer, autumn, winter and spring. The climatic variations are more evident in the cold
and temperate zones than in areas near the Equator, where there are two seasons, so to
speak, one dry and one humid, and both day and night have the same duration over the
course of 365 days.

Why are the seasons produced?

The different seasons are produced as a result of the imaginary axis of rotation of the
planet Earth having an inclination that is always oriented in the same orientation and the
translation around the Sun. It is also for this reason that the Sun illuminates the two in a
different way. Therefore stations would not exist if the Earth's axis were not inclined with
respect to the ecliptic, that is, to the curved line through which the Sun passes around the
Earth.

In this sense, if the south pole is inclined towards the Sun, it will receive more solar
radiation. But months later due to the aforementioned phenomenon the process is reversed
and the pole that was not inclined towards the sun, in this case the north, will receive
more heat, while the south will receive less.

 CONCLUSIONS

 On Earth we have four blocks of time in which the terrestrial year is divided in an
astronomical way. This is because the Earth revolves around the sun (the orbit),
but also on itself (axis); it is the tilt of the Earth's axis that causes the changes in
the climate. During its transit around the Sun and at the time that the Earth axis
varies its inclination, the solar rays reach the planet in different degrees, creating
different climatological blocks depending on the time of year.

 In winter many animals hibernate and plants drop their leaves to save energy. The
return of the heat and sunlight of spring brings with it the explosion of flowers
and the birth of new offspring that grow during the summer, time to also collect
the fruits of the crops. In the autumn, the pups prepare to leave the home while at
the plants it is the turn to plant new seeds for the coming year. The cycle is
repeated annually allowing life.

 Knowing that there are four seasons and how they are produced, we can deduce
what they are for. If we had a single station there would be many species that
could not be cultivated and even some living beings would be extinct. In those
places where there are no major changes between seasons (such as the poles,
where a permanent winter is lived), life is smaller and less varied.
