Why does it only snow in the Winter?

Snow forms when the temperature is below freezing, typically in winter. This is because cold air is not able to hold as much moisture as warm air, so when the cold air cools the moisture in the atmosphere, it falls as snow.


What happens to the daylight hours in Winter?

They get shorter, because of the Winter Solstice. The winter solstice is when the shortest amount of day light hours acccure, and that day is on December 21. There is only 8 to 9 hours for a winter solstice.


How does winter and summer happen?

You've probably noticed that it gets warmer in summer and colder in the winter. This change happens every year. It happens because the earth tilts back and forth as it goes around the sun. During the summer, the earth tilts toward the sun, which makes half of the earth hotter - this is what we call summer. During the other half of the year, the earth tilts away from the sun, which makes that half of the earth cooler. We call this winter.Did you know that different parts of the world have winter and summer at different times of the year? In the northern half of the world (such as North America and Europe), winter happens during the months of December, January and February. In the southern half of the world (such as South America and Australia), winter happens during the months of June, July and August. Winter happens at different times because the top and bottom halves of the earth tilt away from the sun at different times of the year.


What happens to the length of days and nights in winter?

Days get shorter and nights get longer until the winter solstice, at which point the days become longer and the nights become shorter.


What happens to the earth when Demeter is mourning for her daughter?

When Demeter mourns for her daughter Persephone, the earth experiences winter as she withdraws her fertility and stops plants from growing. This period is known as the "winter season" in Greek mythology and symbolizes Demeter's sorrow and grief.
