4 Seasons per year.
Why Are There Seasons? Seasons happen because the Earth moves around the Sun while tilted on its axis. As the Earth travels through space, different parts of the world receive more or less sunlight at different times of the year. When a place receives more sunlight, days become warmer and longer — this is summer. When it receives less sunlight, days become cooler and shorter — this is winter. Spring and autumn are the gentle transitions between these changes, bringing balance to nature. Seasons shape life on Earth — guiding plants to grow, animals to adapt, and people to live in rhythm with the planet.
