 Lesson

1 Factors that Affect Seasons

The sun is the main source of light and heat energythus, making life possible on our planet.
There are different factors which may affect the season of a place.

What’s In
From the previous lesson, you have learned about some important terms. To better
understand our topics, let’s try to answer this activity.

Axis rotates orbits revolves

Eastern hemisphere northern hemisphere southern hemisphere
Hemisphere western hemisphere

1. The ____________ is an imaginary line where the Earth spins.

2. The Earth __________ on its axis once every 24 hours causing day and night.
3. The Earth ____________ around the Sun once every year.
4. The Earth follows a path around the Sun known as an _________.
5. A ______________ is a half of the Earth.
6. The Earth can be divided into four hemispheres: ___________________,
___________________, ______________________, _______________________.

What’s New

We experience seasons due to the changes in the intensity of sunlight and the number of
daylight hours as earth revolves around the sun. According to PAGASA, the Philippines has two
seasons using temperature and rainfall as basis: the rainy season from June to November, and
the dry season from December to May.
The seasons occur in a regular manner and change at practically the same time every
year.Does it mean that the cause of the changes in the seasons must be repeated every year? Let
us find out in the following activity.
Activity 1. Types of Seasons in the Philippines.
Determine the type of season on the following places found in our country.
Check the appropriate box and refer to the map.

Type I Type 2 Type 3 Type 4

 What is it

Season is the period of the year that shows a particular kind of weather. Other
part of the world has four kinds of seasons;howeverPhilippines considered a tropical country
has only two seasons due to its location in Northern Hemisphere near the equator which
received much amount of heat energy from the sun all year round. Consequently, we
havedistinct seasons: wet seasoncharacterized by a pronounced rainy season with
thunderstorm and dry season,experiencing hot and cloudless days.Moreover, there are
smaller climatic regions in our country. We are surrounded by numerous bodies of water
which are the major source of moisture in the air. The prevailing winds force the moisture -
laiden air from the sea upward against the mountain ranges.The rising moist air
cools,causing condensation of its water vapor and bringing in rain. Likewise, prevailing winds
such as the Southwest monsoon, (habagat) and Southeast monsoon (amihan) are also
factors which affects rainfall and bring in the types of climate in our country. Basically,
rainfall is the main basis of this classification.

Table below, specifies the type of seasons in different places in our country.

 What’s More

Aside from the effects of the direct rays of the sun, there are other reasons why
we experience hot and cold weather.

Activity 2. Length of Daytime and Nighttime that Affects the Season.

Dec 21, 2020 6:15 AM 5:31 PM 11h 16m

What determines the length of the day? People on the half of Earth facing the sun
experience daylight, and this period is called daytime.People on the half of Earth facing away
from the sun experience darkness, and this period is called
nighttime.Earth completes one rotation on its axis in 24 hours, or one day. Maybe you think
that daytime and nighttime are always equal. Based on the table, there are certain months
wherein days become short therefore, the length daytime changes from month to month.

What is the effect of a long day, followed by a short night? Longer hours of
daylight mean that the sun is in the sky for a longer time. Thus, there is a longer time to heat up
the surface of the earth. And a short night means the time to cool down is less. So, the heat adds
up day after day. The result is summer. In contrast, a short day means a shorter time that the
Sun is in the sky and there is less time for the surface of the Earth to warm up. And a long night
means there is more time to cool down. The result is winter. In tropical countries like
Philippines, it is a cold season.

 What I Have Learned

• Season is the period of the year that shows a particular kind of weather.
• Philippines is just above the equator; thus, it has a tropical climate.
It is characterized by relatively high temperature, high humidity, and
abundant rainfall. That is why Philippines have only 2 seasons-Dry Seasons
and wet seasons.
• Wet Season is characterized by a pronounced rainy season with
thunderstorm.
• Dry Season is characterized by hot and cloudless days.
• These 2 factors -the Earth’s revolution and rotation-affect both night and
day and the seasons of the earth.
• As the earth revolves around the sun, its seasons changes, the change of
season is mainly caused by the tilt of the Earth’s axis, because of this
tilt, earth receives uneven heating from the sun.
• The climatic regions of the country can be divided into four types:

Type I-Two pronounced season, dry from November to April and wet during
the rest of the year.

Type II – No dry season with a very pronounced maximum rain period from
December to January.
Type III – No very pronounced maximum rain period with a dry season
lasting only from one to three months, either from the period of December to
February.

Type IV – Rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year.

 What I Need to Know

This module was designed and written with you in mind. It is here to help you
master the lesson about the Seasons. The scope of this module permits it to be used in
many different learning situations. The language used recognizes the diverse
vocabulary level of students. The lessons are arranged to follow the standard
sequence of the course. But the order in which you read them can be changed to
correspond with the textbook you are now using.
This module consists of three lessons namely:
Lesson1. Relationship of the height of the Sun to the amount of energy
received.
Lesson 2. Relationship of the latitude of an area to the amount of energy the
area received.
Lesson 3. Relationship of the tilt of the Earth and Seasons.
At the end of this module you are expected to:
1. Relate the distance of the Sun in the sky to the amount to the amount of energy
received;
2. Relate the latitude of an area to the amount of energy the area receives;
3. Relate the tilt of the Earth and the seasons; and
4. Illustrate the position of Sun and Earth at different seasons of the year.

What I Know

 Lesson Relationship of the height of the Sun
1 to the amount of energy received

The Sun is the main source of heat and light. Awareness of the Sun’s
direction, orientation and the path are essential in order to know its impacts on human
life and other living organisms.

What’s In
You learned that the Earth moves in two ways. These are rotation and
revolution. Before knowing more about the effects of theEarth movements, try to
remember the following concepts.
• Rotation is the movement of the Earth on its axis. It takes 24 hours for one
rotation. This explains day and night.
• Revolution is the movement of the Earth around the Sun.

What’s New
You know that the Earth receives all of its energy from the Sun. The Sun’s height
and the length of daylight affect the amount of energy reaching the Earth’s surface. How
does the height of the Sun affect the amount of energy received?

What is It

Look at figure 1. How does the height of the

Sun related to the energy received on Earth?
The Sun is the major source of light and heat
here on Earth. It seems to follow a path across
the sky as the Earth moves on its axis and
revolves around it. The position of the Sun across https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/features/EnergyBala
the sky affects the amount of energy received on nce
Earth.
Figure 1. Sun’s Height vs
Earth’s Energy

After knowing how the height of the Sun is related to the amount of energy
received on the Earth’s surface, the next activity will give you an idea on how the Sun’s
altitude is related to the length of daylight and the amount of energy received in various
places.

2. Which place has a longer daylength? shorter daylength?_______, ________
3. How does Sun’s altitude, daylength, and the amount of energy received related to each
other? _______________________________

What I Have Learned

• The temperature throughout the day is affected by the Sun’s altitude or Sun’s height.

• The lower the Sun in the sky, the shorter the daylength, the more scattered the Sun’s
rays, and the lesser the amount of energy received on the Earth’s surface.

• The higher the Sun in the sky, the longer the daylength, the more concentrated the
Sun’s rays, and the greater the amount of energy received here on Earth.

What I Can Do
Direct rays and slant rays heat the Earth’s surface differently. Illustrate the
shadow formed by the tree at the given situations. Explain your answers briefly.

What’s In
In the previous lesson, you were able to relate the height of the Sun to the
amount of energy received on the surface of the Earth. In the next lesson you will learn
how latitude affects the amount of energy received on the Earth’s surface.

What’s New

Guide Questions
1. What area is the warmest? ______________
2. What area is the coldest? ______________
3. Why does the temperature vary from one place to another? ______________

What is It
shown in the previous table, the
temperature varies in different places.
Such variation depends on latitude.
Latitude is the distance of a place from the
equator in relation to the North and South
poles. How does the latitude of an area
affect the amount of energy received from the
Sun?
Notice in the table that different
places have different average
temperature. It shows that they receive

4
 different amount of sunlight. As you can see in the Figure, the Sun’s rays strike the Earth’s surface
more directly at the equator. The Sun’s rays are spread over a narrow area. Places along the
equator receive a greater amount of energy causing a warmer temperature. Near the poles, the
Sun’s rays strike the surface at a slant. The sun’s rays are spread at a wider area. Places here
receive a lesser amount of energy causing a colder temperature.
Thus, you could say that, the nearer the place to the equator, the greater the amount of heat
energy is received. The farther the place from the equator, the lesser the amountof heat energy
is received. The differences in the amount of energy received in different places is due to the tilt
of the Earth. Because of the tilt, the sun’s rays strike the Earth surface at different angles.

You know that revolution describes how the Earth moves around the Sun

and the Earth takes 24 hours to complete a rotation with respect to the Sun. The
rotation of the Earth's axis is tilted by 23.5 degrees. This tilt causes thedifferent
seasons of the year. How do Earth’s revolution and tilt change the

What is It

seasonal temperatures on Earth?

You know that the Earth

revolves around the Sun while
rotating on its tilted axis. The Earth’s
tilted axis produces seasons. Why do
seasons change? During the year, as the Earth revolves around the Sun, the different
areas of the world receive varying amount of sunlight. Notice in the figure that in June, the
north pole is tilted towards the Sun. The Northern hemisphere receives direct rays from
the Sun.
The temperature becomes warmer.

This is why the Northern

hemisphere experiences summer.

What happens when the Earth moves at the other side of the Sun? After six
months, in December, the north pole is tilted away from the Sun. The Northern
hemisphere no longer receives direct rays from the Sun. The temperature will
become colder. The Northern hemisphere will experience winter. For tropical

countries like the Philippines, it will be a cold season. When does summer and winter
start? In the Northern hemisphere, summer usually begins on June 21(summer
solstice) while winter starts around December 22 (winter solstice). The summer solstice is
the longest day of the year in contrary to the winter solstice which is the shortest day of
the year. In the Southern hemisphere, winter starts in June while summer starts in
December.
How about if the north pole and the south pole are at equal distances from the Sun?
We call this as an equinox which happens twice a year. During the equinox, the Sun is
exactly above the equator. It is where the day and night are nearly equal. In the Northern
hemisphere, the vernal or spring equinox happens around March 21. It marks the
beginning of spring. Spring is the season before winter and after summer. The
autumnal equinox happens around September 22. It starts the beginning of autumn
(fall). Autumn (fall) is the season after summer and before winter. In the Southern
hemisphere, March is the beginning of autumn (fall) and September is the beginning of
spring. As you can see, the season change because the direct rays from the Sun shift
from one hemisphere to another as the Earth evolves around the Sun.

 What’s More
You learned that the tilt of the Earth and revolution affects the seasons in other countries.
How about in the Philippines? How does the tilt of the Earth and revolution affect the seasons in our country?

Activity 3.1Seasons in the Philippines

Eclipses
1
What’s In?
In Grade 6, you have learned about the major members of our solar system.
Like the other planets. Earth moves mainly in two ways: It spins on its axis and it
goes around the sun. and the Earth revolves around the sun, the Moon is also
revolving around the Earth. Can you imagine all these “motions” happening at the
same time? The amazing thing we do not feel that the Earth is moving. In reality,
the planet is speeding around the Sun at 30 kilometers each second.
(The Solar System is also moving around the center of the Milky Way)

But even if you do not actually see the Earth or Moon moving, you can
observe the effects of their motion. For Example, because the Earth rotates, you
experience day and night. As the Moon goes around the Earth, you see changes in
the Moon’s appearance.

What’s New?

There are two types of eclipses on Earth: an eclipse of

Do you know how shadows are formed? How about Eclipses? Are the two

related in any kway?
A shadow is a dark (real image) area where light from a light source is
blocked by an opaque object. The term eclipse is most often used to describe either
a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface or a
lunar eclipse when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow.
LUNAR ECLIPSE

During a lunar eclipse, Earth comes between

the Sun and the Moon, blocking the sunlight from
falling on the Moon. ... A total lunar eclipse
occurs when the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides
of Earth. A partial lunar eclipse happens when only
part of Earth's shadow covers the Moon.

SOLAR ECLIPSE

A solar eclipse occurs when a portion of the Earth is engulfed in a shadow

cast by the Moon which fully or partially blocks sunlight. This occurs when
the Sun, Moon, and Earth are aligned. ... In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is
fully obscured by the Moon.

 https://spacedge.academy/pluginfile.php/1327/course/section/542/Solar%20eclipse.jpg

The region of complete shadow is called the umbra and the region of diffuse
shadow is called the penumbra. These shadows are formed on the Earth during a
solar eclipse and from the umbra we see a total eclipse while from
the penumbra only a partial eclipse is visible.

Activity 1- Are There Shadows in space?

Objective: After doing the activity, you should be able to explain how shadows are
formed in space.

Study the diagram below.

https://c.tadst.com/gfx/1200x630/lunar-nodes-02.png?1

Q1. What happens to the shadow of the moon as it moves around the Earth?

Q2. Observe the appearance of the Moon. What is the effect of the shadow of the
Earth on the Moon as it is located between the sun and the Moon?

Activity 2 – Solar Eclipse

Draw a diagram inside the box, wherein the location of Sun, Moon, and Earth is
arranged accordingly to form a Solar Eclipse.

What I Have Learned

⚫ A shadow is a dark (real image) area where light from a light source is blocked
by an opaque object.452
⚫ Solar eclipses result from the Moon blocking the Sun relative to the Earth;
thus Earth, Moon, and Sun all lie on a line.
⚫ Lunar eclipses work the same way in a different order: Moon, Earth, and Sun
all on a line. In this case, the Earth's shadow hides the Moon from view.
⚫ The region of complete shadow is called the umbra and the region of diffuse
shadow is called the penumbra. These shadows are formed on the Earth during
a solar eclipse and from the umbra we see a total eclipse while from
the penumbra only a partial eclipse is visible.
