Weather an
Earth goes around the sun. For some of the year,
one half of Earth is nearer the sun, so it has warmer
weather called summer. At the same time, the other
half is away from the sun, so it has colder weather
called winter. This is how the seasons work.
How the Seasons Work

The weather of a place can change depending on the
landscape. If you climb a mountain, the air gets about
6 degrees centigrade (OC) colder every 1,000 meters
that you climb. So there can be snow at the top of a
mountain near the equator!
Land gets warm faster than the ocean, so in summer,
inland places are warmer than places near the ocean.
Inland places cool down faster, too, so they are colder
in winter.

Most places have summer and winter, but in
temperate climates there are also seasons called
spring and fall, when the weather isn't as hot as
summer or as cold as winter. Places near the equator
are usually hot, but they have wet and dry seasons.
PLains have some of the hottest weather.
They have hot summers, and coLd, dry winters
because they are far from the ocean and they
can be protected by mountains, too.
