Inverno (Winter)

Inverno, or winter, is one of the four seasons characterized by the coldest temperatures of the year. It occurs when Earth's northern or southern hemisphere tilts away from the Sun, resulting in shorter days and reduced sunlight. This season typically brings snow, ice, and colder weather, affecting ecosystems, agriculture, and daily life. Winter's progression varies by location, with more severe conditions near the poles and milder temperatures closer to the equator. It is a time of dormancy for many plants and animals, and it often prompts activities like skiing, snowboarding, and cozy indoor gatherings.
