Question

Which season is absent in the equatorial region?
a)Summer season
b)Winter season
c)Spring season
d)Autumn season

Answer 1

Hint: Our Earth is spherical in shape and is tilted at 23.5 degrees on its axis. This tilt and earth’s revolution around the Sun explains the change of season on Earth.

Complete answer: The imaginary lines that run parallel from north to south are called latitudes. The latitude at 0 degree is called the equator.
When the northern hemisphere angled towards the sun in June and receives the most energy it is called astronomical summer.
Six months later in December ,the southern hemisphere is angled towards the sun and it is winter in the northern hemisphere.
Spring is the transitional season from winter to summer .It is defined as the time between vernal equinox to summer solstice . It is the time between March to June in the northern hemisphere.
Autumn is the transitional season from autumnal equinox to winter solstice . It is the time between September to December in the northern hemisphere.
However unlike other latitudes , the equator receives vertical rays of sunshine throughout the year. These regions experience less seasonal variations. The equatorial regions experience equal day and night throughout the year. Equatorial region has a warm climate throughout the year. This is why the regions near the equator do not experience winter.

Thus, Option (B) is correct.

Note: The difference in four seasons mostly felt at mid latitudes. These are places neither too near the pole nor the equator. As one moves towards the poles, the difference in seasons gets bigger.
