| | The seasons, they are a-changing. Here are some fun facts and a related family-friendly science experiment you might like as summer fades into fall... | Have young ones in the family? Here's is a nifty way to explain why the seasons change. | | It's all about Earth's tilt!Many people believe that Earth is closer to the Sun in the summer and that is why it is hotter. And, likewise, they think Earth is farthest from the Sun in the winter. Although this idea makes sense, it is incorrect. It is true that Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle. It is a bit lop-sided. During part of the year, Earth is closer to the Sun than at other times. However, in the Northern Hemisphere, we are having winter when Earth is closest to the Sun and summer when it is farthest away! Compared with how far away the Sun is, this change in Earth's distance throughout the year does not make much difference to our weather. There is a different reason for Earth's seasons. Earth's axis is an imaginary pole going right through the center of Earth from "top" to "bottom." Earth spins around this pole, making one complete turn each day. That is why we have day and night, and why every part of Earth's surface gets some of each. Earth has seasons because its axis doesn't stand up straight.
But what caused Earth to tilt? Long, long ago, when Earth was young, it is thought that something big hit Earth and knocked it off-kilter. So instead of rotating with its axis straight up and down, it leans over a bit.
| | By the way, that big thing that hit Earth is called Theia. It also blasted a big hole in the surface. That big hit sent a huge amount of dust and rubble into orbit. Most scientists think that that rubble, in time, became our Moon. As Earth orbits the Sun, its tilted axis always points in the same direction. So, throughout the year, different parts of Earth get the Sun’s direct rays.
A fun experiment: Get a piece of paper and a fashlight. Go in the closet so the flashlight is bright and have your child shine it on the paper. Create a circle and then tilt the paper so the circle becomes an oval. | | Explain that while the same amount of light is still on the paper, it is spread over a larger area so is less powerful. This is what happens when the sun's light hitting the earth is tilted because the earth is! | | Hey, what's up with the name September? Sept is a latin root word that means seven, yet September is our ninth month. Well here's the explanation: | | About 3,000 years ago, 700 BCE to be exact, Romulus the legendary first ruler of Rome created a calendar. He chose to measure the year in ten months, and they were named Martius, Aprilis, Maius, Junius, Quintilis, Sextilis, September, October, November, and December. The last six names were taken from the latin words for five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. Romulus, the legendary first ruler of Rome, is supposed to have introduced this calendar in the 700s B.C.E. |
