The season where Earth is tilted towards the sun.
What is summer?

People who study climate.
What are climatologists?
400
The season between winter and summer where Earth isn't tilted either way.
What is spring?
400
A natural heating process that occurs when certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat.
What is the greenhouse effect?
500
Body temperature drops and body processes are reduced to minimum.
What is Hibernation?
500
Temperate, Polar, and Tropic.
What are zones?
500
