Best Answer

Seasons on the planet Earth are determined by both the planet's distance from the sun, and the tilt of the earth on its axis.One's position and relative distance from the equator, north or south, decides which season occurs at which time. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the Northern portion experiences summer and the Southern Hemisphere experiences winter. Likewise, when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the Southern portion of the globe has summer, while the north experiences winter. Distance also effects the seasons, though mainly the length of the seasons. Extreme distances from the equator, such as the poles, experience very long expanses of summer and winter. The closer you are to a pole, the longer the peaks of each season will be. The "winter" at a pole can be one long night that lasts for several days, weeks or months.

Does change in season affect asthma?

Yes, without question the symptoms of asthma change with the seasons. The reason: because asthma is, in part, an inflammatory condition, there are a huge number of environmental factors (e.g., being around cigarette smoke) that can exacerbate asthma. Since environmental factors change as the seasons change, it makes sense that asthma symptoms would too. Things that typically cause seasonal allergies (e.g., pollen) can exacerbate asthma. The relative humidity can also contribute to asthma symptoms, and since, depending on where you live, the humidity changes with the season, asthma can thus change with the seasons.
