Different Seasons of the Earth
A. What’s New
Earth moves mainly in two ways: it spins on its axis and goes around the sun.
As it revolves around the sun, the moon also revolves around the earth. Can
you imagine these motions happening at the same time?
Our planet is spinning around the sun at 30 kilometers each second.
B. What Is It
Even if we do not actually see the earth and the moon moving, we can observe
the effect of their motions. For example, because the earth rotates, we
experienced day and night. As the moon goes around the earth, we see
changes in the moon’s appearance. And because of these movements, there
are two seasons in the Philippines: the rainy and dry. You might have noticed
too that there are months of the year when it is cold and months when it is
hot.
C. Learning Activities
Directions: Read and write your answer in the activity sheet provided.
1. Study figure 1 carefully. It shows the earth at different locations along its
orbit around the sun. Notice that the axis of the earth is not perpendicular
to its plane of orbit, it is tilted. The letter N refers to north pole while S
refers to south pole.
Figure 1. The drawing shows the location of the Earth at different times of the year.
