sleeting, foggy, or cloudy. The weather changes regularly

We need to know what the weather is going to be each day
so that we know what to wear. On hot sunny days we wear
cool light clothes, while on cold, rainy days we need more
layers like jumpers and a waterproof coat. Weather is
predicted using satellite images of the Earth and weather
stations. Specially trained people called meteorologists
use computers to help them predict what the weather will
be over the next few hours and days.
Can you explain how the weather changes throughout the year name
the seasons?
There are differences in the weather, length of day light
available and plant life during the seasons.
In autumn the amount of time it is light becomes less, the
leaves start to change colour and fall off the trees.

In spring the weather usually turns warmer, trees begin to grow
their leaves, plants start to flower and young animals such as
chicks and lambs are born.

leaves and the amount of time is it light for during the day is
longer.

Andy Goldsworthy
As Earth moves around the Sun it spins in a slightly tilted position. This tilt is what causes our seasons because through the year different parts of the planet are closer to or further away from the Sun's light. More or less sunlight and heat impact on the length of each day and the average daily temperature in different seasons, as well as the amount of rainfall.
