    How Do Seasons Happen

    Seasons occur because Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of 23.4 degrees relative to its orbit around the sun. This tilt causes different parts of Earth to receive more or less sunlight over the course of a year, resulting in warmer summer and colder winter temperatures in each hemisphere. While Earth's elliptical orbit means it is sometimes closer to or farther from the sun, the tilt of Earth's axis, not its distance from the sun, is the primary cause of the seasons.

    How do Seasons Happen?

    Seasons come to us regularly. We have probably noticed that it gets warmer in summer or dry
    season while it get colder in the winter or wet season. However do we know how these
    seasons change?

    Seasons happen because Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.4 degrees and different
    parts of Earth receive more solar energy than others.

    Seasons are caused by Earth's axial tilt and temperatures and nature's processes are affected.
    Because of Earth's axial tilt (obliquity), our planet orbits the Sun on a slant which means
    different areas of Earth point toward or away from the Sun at different times of the year.

    Opposite Seasons
    At the same time, the Southern Hemisphere points away from the Sun, creating winter during
    the months of June, July and August. Summer in the Southern Hemisphere is in December,
    January, and February, when the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun and the Northern
    Hemisphere is tilted away.

    Axis Tilts the Same Way


    Earth's axis is the imaginary red line. Earth's axis is the imaginary red line that runs through
    the North and South Poles.timeanddate.com
    The direction of Earth's tilt nearly doesn't change – the two hemispheres point toward the
    same position in space through the entire year. What does change, as Earth revolves around
    the Sun, is the position of the hemispheres in relation to the Sun – the Northern Hemisphere
    points toward the Sun during the northern summer and away from the Sun during the
    northern winter.

    Elliptical Path Around the Sun


    Earth's path around the Sun is not circular, nor is the Sun situated at the center of this path.
    Instead, Earth's orbit is elliptical, with the Sun closer to one end of the orbital path than the
    other. This means that Earth’s distance from the Sun varies throughout the year

    Distance Does Not Cause Seasons


    It is a common misconception that seasons occur because of Earth's elliptical orbit around the
    Sun, with winter occurring when Earth is farthest away from the Sun, and summer when it is
    closest to it.
    However, our planet's distance from the Sun has little effect on the onset of seasons. In fact,
    Earth is closest to the Sun, or at its Perihelion, around the Northern Hemisphere's winter
    solstice, while it is farthest away from the Sun, or at its Aphelion, around the north's summer
    solstice.
    Little Difference
    While the variation of Earth’s distance from the Sun isn’t very large, our planet receives more
    solar energy when it is closest to the Sun during Southern Hemisphere's summer. However,
    because there are relatively few landmasses south of the equator and oceans take more time
    to heat up, the temperature difference between the northern and southern summers is very
    small.

    Mengapa bisa terjadi musim?


    Musim datang kepada kita secara teratur. Kami mungkin telah memperhatikan bahwa cuaca
    akan semakin panas di musim panas atau musim kemarau saat cuaca dingin di musim dingin
    atau musim hujan. Namun apakah kita tahu bagaimana musim ini berubah?

    Musim terjadi karena poros bumi dimiringkan pada sudut sekitar 23,4 derajat dan bagian
    bumi yang berbeda menerima lebih banyak energi matahari daripada yang lain.
    Musim disebabkan oleh kemiringan dan suhu aksial Bumi dan proses alaminya terpengaruh.

    Karena kemiringan aksial Bumi (obliquity), planet kita mengorbit Matahari pada kemiringan
    yang berarti daerah Bumi yang berbeda mengarah ke atau menjauh dari Matahari pada waktu
    yang berbeda sepanjang tahun.

    Musim yang berlawanan


    Pada saat yang sama, Belahan Bumi Selatan menunjuk jauh dari Matahari, menciptakan
    musim dingin selama bulan Juni, Juli dan Agustus. Musim panas di Belahan Bumi Selatan
    adalah pada bulan Desember, Januari, dan Februari, ketika Kutub Selatan dimiringkan ke
    Matahari dan Belahan Bumi Utara dimiringkan.

    Axis Memiringkan Jalan yang Sama


    Sumbu bumi adalah garis merah imajiner. Sumbu bumi adalah garis merah imajiner yang
    membentang melalui Kutub Utara dan Selatan.
    Arah kemiringan bumi hampir tidak berubah - kedua belahan titik mengarah ke posisi yang
    sama di luar angkasa sepanjang tahun. Apa yang berubah, saat Bumi berputar mengelilingi
    Matahari, adalah posisi belahan otak sehubungan dengan Matahari - titik Belahan Utara
    mengarah ke Matahari selama musim panas utara dan jauh dari Matahari selama musim
    dingin di utara.

    Jalur elips mengelilingi Matahari


    Jalan bumi mengelilingi Matahari tidak melingkar, juga Matahari berada di pusat jalan ini.
    Sebaliknya, orbit Bumi berbentuk elips, dengan Matahari mendekati satu ujung jalur orbit
    daripada yang lain. Ini berarti jarak Bumi dari Matahari bervariasi sepanjang tahun

    Jarak Bukan Penyebab Musim


    Ini adalah kesalahpahaman umum bahwa musim terjadi karena orbit elips Bumi mengelilingi
    Matahari, dengan musim dingin terjadi saat Bumi berada jauh dari Matahari, dan musim
    panas saat paling dekat dengan itu.

    Namun, jarak planet kita dari Matahari memiliki sedikit pengaruh pada permulaan musim.
    Sebenarnya, Bumi paling dekat dengan Matahari, atau di Perihelion-nya, di sekitar titik balik
    matahari musim dingin di Belahan Bumi Utara, sementara jaraknya paling jauh dari
    Matahari, atau di Aphelion-nya, di sekitar titik balik matahari musim panas utara.
    Sedikit perbedaan
    Sementara variasi jarak Bumi dari Matahari tidak terlalu besar, planet kita menerima lebih
    banyak energi matahari saat paling dekat dengan Matahari selama musim panas di Belahan
    Bumi Selatan. Namun, karena ada sedikit daratan di selatan khatulistiwa dan samudera
    membutuhkan lebih banyak waktu untuk memanaskan, perbedaan suhu
