Autumn

The north pole begins to move away from the Sun. The Sun rises lower in the sky so the days start getting shorter. When the Sun is at its midpoints in the sky, we reach the 'autumn equinox', around 22 September. Day and night are both 12 hours long and its the beginning of autumn.

Spring

The Earth continues on its path, and our north pole starts moving towards the Sun again. The Sun moves upwards in our skies and the days continue getting longer. Again, we reach a midpoint when day and night are both 12 hours long. This is called the 'vernal (or spring) equinox' and happens around 21 March

The seasons are caused by the tilting of the Earth on it's axis. When the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, the sunlight and warmth hits the Earth at an angle and has less effect, so bringing on winter north of the equator. While the northern hemisphere is in winter, the Southern Hemisphere is in summer.
