Fall equinox to winter solstice; how a cataclysmic event caused us to have seasons on Earth
AUSTIN (KXAN) - The changing of the seasons can be a time of celebration around the world, even in areas where the temperature remains close to a hundred degrees, even in the fall.
The thing is... temperature doesn't mark the change of the seasons.
In this First Warning Weather University lesson, chief meteorologist Nick Bannin takes a closer look at the seasons and what exactly is behind them.
In this lesson you will learn about:
- Why the Earth doesn't stand up right.
- Why seasons are different depending on which hemisphere you live in.
- A little Latin that explains spring and fall.
