G od afternoon,

Grade 7!
Let’s
pray
 Class rules:
1. One mouth policy.
2. Refrain from chatting about
unnecessary things.
3. Be participative.
Let’s have a
review!
 Which
Season is
It?
 Seasons:
Earth’s Axial
Tilt
 You are expected to...
a. identify Earth’s axis, equator, hemisphere, and the four seasons;
b. explain the relationship between the position of Earth’s axial tilt
in its orbit around the sun and the seasons;
c. discuss the relationship between the position of Earth’s axial tilt
and its orbit around the sun and the length of day and night;
d. cite the importance of seasons; and
e. illustrate the position of Earth in its orbit around the Sun to the
seasons, and the length of day and night.
Let’s have an
activity!

 Earth’s Tilt
Our planet is tilted
relative to the sun.
The North Pole faces
the sun for half a year,
while the South Pole
faces the sun for the
other half.
 The Seasons Winter
(Northern
From approximately Hemisphere)
October to February,
Earth’s tilt means the
North Pole is pointing
away from the sun.

This means while the

Northern Hemisphere
experiences winter,
the Southern
Hemisphere enjoys Summer (Southern
summer! Hemisphere)
 The Seasons

Winter
Autumn
Summer (Southern
Hemisphere)
Summer Spring
 Day and Night
Earth spins on its
own axis once every
24 hours.

Therefore, it takes one

whole day and night to
make a rotation.
 Day and Night

When the side of Earth

where you live faces
the sun, it is daytime.

Night-time Daytime When the part of Earth

where you live is facing
away from the sun, it is
night-time.
Summer Solstice
Winter
Earth is farthest away from the (Southern
sun, therefore reaching its Hemisphere)
highest position in the sky.

The day of the year with the

longest period of daylight.

The summer solstice signals the

start of summer in the Northern
Hemisphere while those in the
Southern Hemisphere, wherein
Earth is tilted away from the Summer
sun, experience winter. (Northern Hemisphere)

time!
 Homework:
Gather data from reliable sources found on the internet about
2023’s time when the sun rises and sets, daylight hours, and the
season experience in Cebu. In a table, you have to get the record
of every 21st of the month, from January to December. Afterward,
you have to answer the following questions:

(1) How does Earth’s axial tilt affect the changes of shortest and
longest daytime and nighttime?
(2) How does Earth's axial tilt affect the changes in seasons?
