Summer begins on the longest day of the year. In the north this is on June 21 or 22. Summer is usually the warmest and sunniest time of the year. Fruit grows faster on trees and other plants. Young animals grow bigger and stronger.
Autumn starts when the day and night are the same length again. During autumn, the leaves change their colours and fall from the trees. Some animals collect food before winter comes.
Winter begins on the shortest day of the year. In the north this is on December 21 or 22. The weather is colder and in some places, there is lots of snow. Trees and other plants stop growing. Some animals, like bats and bears, find places to hide and sleep. This is called hibernation(冬眠).
