Summer (season)
Summer is one of the four seasons, characterized by the warmest weather of the year. It occurs when a hemisphere, either the Northern or Southern, tilts toward the Sun, receiving more direct sunlight and longer daylight hours. This increased sunlight raises temperatures and creates ideal conditions for outdoor activities, plant growth, and vacation. Summers vary in length and intensity depending on geographic location, but generally feature hot weather, lush vegetation, and longer evenings. It marks a period of active growth in many ecosystems and is often associated with holidays, outdoor sports, and relaxation.
