Hello, and welcome to the Online tutorial for Seasons!

This page is meant to correspond to some of the things we cover in Chapter 2, which is about Earth-Sun relations and Seasons.

As I said in class, nearly everything else we will talk about later in the semester is derived from what we learned today. I'd like to get everyone in class up to the point where they can tell me the first day of the season, the number of hours of daylight, etc. right off the top of your head without having to think about it. This will make learning about weather and climate so much easier!

Towards that end, I've created the following web pages for your enjoyment. Nothing here is required, you can use it or ignore it as you will. Please let me know if it helps!

Enjoy!

-Marty
