Let’s learn
Where do we lived?
Earth- is the third planet in order from the sun. It is the planet which we live.

Do you know how the earth moves?

Earth moves in its own axis.

Rotation -is the movement of objects on its axis. Earth spins on its tilted axis. The
Earth’s axis is tilted by 23.5 degrees. The axis is an imaginary line that runs through
the center of the Earth. It rotates from west to east. It rotates in a counterclockwise
direction. It takes 24 hours to complete one rotation which is equivalent to one
cycle of daytime and nighttime.

Revolution- the movement of an object around a center or another

object is called revolution. Earth completes one revolution around
the sun for 365.25 days or one solar year. Earth follows an orbit in
traveling around the sun. The orbit is an imaginary path around the
sun. Earth’s orbit is elliptical or in a form of a slightly flattened
circle or ellipse.

Earth’s Orbit
Earth revolves around the sun as it rotates or spins around its axis. Due to the elliptical
shape of Earth’s orbit, the distance between Earth and the sun varies throughout the
year. At perihelion, Earth is at its closest point to the sun. And when Earth is at its
farthest point form the sun, we call it aphelion
What is the Effect of the Earth’s Motion?
The effect of earth’s motion is the Occurrence of Day and Night
2
Why do we have day and night?
Earth is always moving. It spins on its tilted axis. It is called rotation. As
Earth rotates, the sun appears to move across the sky, but it is the Earth that is
spinning and we do not notice it because it spins so fast at about 1, 675
kilometers per hour. It takes 24 hours to complete one rotation which is
equivalent to one cycle of daytime and nighttime. When Earth rotates, half of it
faces the sun and the other half faces away from the sun.

Earth’s rotation results to the occurrence of day and night. Regions or places facing the sun experience
daytime, that side is warmer and brighter. Regions or places facing away from the sun experience nighttime so
it is cooler and darker. Since the Earth is always spinning, there is a line between day and night and we pass
through it each day. Activities of people and other living things change according to the time of the day.

The Philippines is located near the equator. During daytime, our country, same as the countries in the
region, is facing the sun and receiving much sunlight. When the earth rotates and our country is in the position
wherein it is not facing the sun and its darker.

Why do seasons change due to earth’s revolution?

A season is a period of the year that is distinguished by special climate conditions.

The four seasons are spring, summer, fall, and winter and they follow one another
regularly. Each has its own light, temperature, and weather patterns that repeat
yearly. Seasons occur because the earth is tilted on its axis relative to the orbital
plane – the invisible, flat disc where most objects in the solar system orbit the sun.
Earth’s axis is an invisible line that runs through its center, from pole to pole. Earth
rotates around its axis.

During the year, the seasons change depending on the amount of sunlight reaching
the Earth as it revolves around the Sun.

The seasons change as the Earth, tilted on its axis, travels in a loop around the Sun each year. Summer
happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun, and winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the
Sun. As the Earth travels around the Sun, the season on the hemisphere that is tilted towards or away from the
Sun changes.
The hemisphere that is tilted towards the Sun is warmer because sunlight travels more
directly to the Earth’s surface so less gets scattered in the atmosphere. That means that
when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
The hemisphere that is tilted towards the Sun has longer days and shorter nights. That is
why days are longer during the summer than during the winter.
At the equator, there are no seasons because each day the Sun strikes at about the same
angle. Every day of the year, the equator receives about 12 hours of sunlight. The poles
remain cool because they never tilted in a direct path of sunlight. Much light is scattered by the atmosphere
before reaching the Earth’s surface at the poles. During midwinter, when a pole has tilted away from the Sun,
there is no daylight at all and the sun never rises. However, during the summer, a pole receives sunlight all the
time and there is no night.

The effect of the revolution of the earth is the changing seasons. Since the Earth is tilted by 23.5 degrees
on its axis, there are times that it is tilted towards or away from the sun as it revolves around the sun. When the
3
earth is tilted towards the sun in the month of June, the Northern Hemisphere experiences summer while the
Southern Hemisphere experiences winter because the Northern Hemisphere is exposed to direct sunlight. The
Northern hemisphere receives more solar radiation.

As the Earth moves, summer turns to autumn or fall in the northern hemisphere while the season in the
southern hemisphere changed from winter to spring. In September 21, both hemispheres receive equal energy
from the sun. There is an equal length of days and night. It is called equinox.

When the earth is tilted away from the sun in the month of December, the Northern Hemisphere
experiences winter while the Southern Hemisphere experiences summer because the Southern Hemisphere is
exposed to direct sunlight. The Southern hemisphere receives more solar radiation.

In March, both hemispheres receive equal amount of solar energy. It is spring in the Northern
hemisphere and autumn or fall in the southern hemisphere.

What are the two Season in the Philippines?

In the Philippines we only have two seasons: dry season and wet season. The four seasons do not occur in the
Philippines because it is located near the equator, thus, it receives sunlight all throughout the year. Our
country’s warm and humid temperature is considered to be one of the world’s healthiest tropical climates. The
season of the Philippines is influenced by its location on the equator and the prevailing winds that pass over it.

Dry Season -is characterized by cloudless and hot days. In the Philippines, the climate is dry with occasional
rain showers between January and May. Between January to February, the air is cold and dry. The peak of dry
season is April with less rain showers. The dry season is the effect of the seasonal wind and the northeast
monsoon known as amihan.

Things to do during Dry Season:

Swimming @ the Beach Outdoor Activity

Plant Crops Wear Light-colored and

Wet Season -is characterized by rainy days with thunderstorms. From June to September in the Philippines, the
air is hot and humid which brings heavy rains and typhoons in the country. During this season, rain is an almost
daily occurrence. Rainfall or precipitation is relatively high during this season where the southwest monsoon or
habagat blows.

Things to do during Wet Season:

In Door Activities
Bring Umbrella or Raincoat

Farmers Plant Crops

Factors Affecting the Seasons

There are some factors that affects seasons in the Philippines.

 Location of the Philippines. Our country is located near the equator. Hence, it receives vertical rays of
sunlight. The sun’s heat causes much water to evaporate and fall as rain later on. Part of the year our
country experiences dry season and part of it is rainy or wet season. This is because of the revolution of
the earth around the sun.

 Prevailing winds. Prevailing winds influence the seasons of the Philippines. The wind that blows
mostly from a single direction is known as monsoon. Two wind systems affect the seasons in our
country: amihan or the northeast monsoon which creates dry season; and habagat or southwest monsoon
which brings several days of heavy rains wet season across the country.

Here are some of the graphs that show the average weather and climate conditions in our country for the
whole year.
