Earths Seasons - Free Printable

Looking at Part 2 of the worksheet, I need to match these terms with their correct definitions:

1. Solstice
2. Equinox
3. Axis
4. Rotation
5. Revolution
6. Hemispheres

And the definitions are:
A. The beginning of Fall and Spring
B. To spin on an axis
C. Imaginary line Earth spins around
D. The beginning of Summer and Winter
E. To travel an orbit around another object
F. Northern and southern halves of the Earth

Let me match them based on my knowledge of Earth science:

- Solstice: This refers to the two times of year when the Sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator, marking the beginning of summer and winter. So this matches with D.
- Equinox: This refers to the two times of year when day and night are approximately equal in length, marking the beginning of spring and fall. So this matches with A.
- Axis: This is the imaginary line about which the Earth rotates. So this matches with C.
- Rotation: This is the spinning of the Earth on its axis. So this matches with B.
- Revolution: This is the Earth's movement around the Sun in its orbit. So this matches with E.
- Hemispheres: These are the northern and southern halves of the Earth, divided by the equator. So this matches with F.

Now I have all the information needed to complete both parts of the worksheet.

Here's the completed solution:

Part 1: Label the season for each hemisphere

1. Northern: Winter
Southern: Summer

2. Northern: Spring
Southern: Autumn (Fall)

3. Northern: Summer
Southern: Winter

4. Northern: Autumn (Fall)
Southern: Spring

Part 2: Match the term with correct definition

1. Solstice - D. The beginning of Summer and Winter
2. Equinox - A. The beginning of Fall and Spring
3. Axis - C. Imaginary line Earth spins around
4. Rotation - B. To spin on an axis
5. Revolution - E. To travel an orbit around another object
6. Hemispheres - F. Northern and southern halves of the Earth
