Question

What is the difference between the season winter and spring

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Winter is the coldest season of the year in polar climates and temperate climates, between autumn and spring.Winter is caused by the axis of the Earth in that hemisphere being oriented away from the Sun.Different cultures define different dates as the start of winter, and some use a definition based on weather.When it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa.In many regions, winter is associated with snow and freezing temperatures. The moment of winter solstice is when the sun's elevation with respect to the North Pole is at its most negative value.The earliest sunset and latest sunrise dates outside the polar regions differ from the date of the winter solstice, however, and these depend on latitude, due to the variation in the solar day throughout the year caused by the Earth's elliptical orbit.
2. Spring, also known as springtime, is one of the four temperate seasons, succeeding winter and preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with daytime length increasing and nighttime length decreasing as the season progresses.
