Circle of the Seasons

The Circle of the Seasons represents the annual cycle of Earth's orbit around the Sun, which causes the changing seasons. As Earth tilts on its axis, different parts receive varying sunlight throughout the year. This results in four main seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter, each lasting roughly three months. The circle visually illustrates how these seasons follow one another in a repeating, predictable pattern, shaping climate, nature, and human activities in a continuous, cyclical rhythm.
