Although many experts still do not agree on the exact date when it begins
Spring, the truth is that when it arrives in the southern hemisphere on September 21, in the hemisphere
the north autumn begins, that is, just the opposite. And when summer begins in one of them,
the other does it the winter. These are the seasons of the year and they occur because our planet
It revolves around the sun, which causes one part to always be closer to this star and, obviously,
receive more heat. This movement is called translation. The one of rotation is the one that produces the
day and night.
Spring is characterized by a gradual increase in temperatures and daylight hours.
These characteristics are only appreciated in areas of middle or high latitude. In the equatorial regions
one cannot speak of spring, since generally there are only two seasons, a dry one and
another wet one, each lasting six months, and day and night have practically the same duration
(12 hours) throughout the year. In the Arctic and Antarctic regions, it is a very brief season. In the
the northern hemisphere corresponds to the months of March, April, and May; in the southern hemisphere (that is
in ours), with the months of September, October, and November.
In spring, many animals come out of their hibernation period, that is, they abandon their
burrows where they took refuge during the winter to reintegrate into their habitats. The plants
they also are reborn, gradually filling with leaves and, later, with flowers.
The four seasons
From a young age, we know that throughout the year we must adapt to different temperatures and
weather conditions. In summer, we feel a lot of heat and go to the beach or to cooler places.

better and in autumn we prepare for the cold.
We experienced all of the above naturally, but we must know that these four periods
climates develop according to the solar year. Thus, the existence of spring, summer,
autumn and winter are due to the position of the Earth relative to the Sun, as the Earth moves
(moves) from one place to another around the Sun.
Equinoxes and solstices
The day that spring and autumn begin in the opposite hemisphere is the equinox.
the only day of the year when the day has the same duration as the night.
When summer begins in one hemisphere and winter in another, it is called a solstice. The day
In which the winter solstice occurs in our hemisphere, it has the shortest day and the night.
longer. In the northern hemisphere, summer begins, with the longest day and the shortest night
of the year.
