The four seasons W1-mt_go5i87u2b9-s1

  1. 4 · In the UK, we name four seasons: spring, summer, autumn (fall), and winter.
  2. Winter · Winter is usually colder than spring and summer in the UK. Snow does not fall every winter day.
  3. True · The statement is true. Summer has more daylight than winter in the UK.
  4. Summer · The summer bar is taller. It shows 16 example hours, compared with 8 for winter.
  5. Spring · Spring follows winter and often brings these changes in the UK. Flowers and young birds can appear in other seasons too.
  6. They change colour and fall · Leaves on many trees change colour and fall in autumn. Some trees keep their leaves.
  7. Winter · Winter best fits the usual combination of cold weather and much less daylight than summer in the UK.
  8. Check the date and other clues · Snow can fall outside winter. The date and several observations give better evidence than snow alone.
