Frequently Asked Questions
Why do seasons change on Earth?
Seasons change because the Earth revolves around the Sun while tilted on its axis, causing different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
What is bird migration?
Bird migration is the regular seasonal journey undertaken by many species of birds from colder areas to warmer regions to find food and shelter during winter.
How do plants know when to flower?
Plants sense the changes in the length of daylight and temperature, which act as natural signals for them to bloom and produce seeds at the right time of year.
