In the Northern Hemisphere, point C has which season?

• A. Winter
• B. Summer
• C. Spring
• D. Fall

Answer: (C)

Seasons in the Northern Hemisphere come from the tilt of Earth’s axis relative to the Sun and how that tilt changes the amount of sunlight different locations receive during the year. When the Northern Hemisphere begins to receive more daylight and the Sun’s rays feel a bit more direct, temperatures start to rise and plants begin to grow—that transitional period is spring. So a point in the Northern Hemisphere that shows longer days and warming conditions is spring. The other seasons have more extreme patterns: winter brings shorter days and cooler temps, summer brings the longest days and warmest temps, and fall brings shortening days and cooling temps.
