Four seasons occur on Earth.
During a complete revolution of the Earth around the sun:
- Four seasons occur on Earth. The tilt of the Earth's axis causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight, leading to the distinct seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
- The moon makes one complete phase change. As the Earth orbits the sun, the moon also orbits the Earth. During this time, the moon goes through all its phases, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon.
- Earth experiences a complete day. As the Earth rotates on its axis, it experiences a full day, which consists of 24 hours.
- Day turns to night. As the Earth rotates, different parts of the planet are illuminated by the sun, causing the alternation between day and night.
