Solution
The correct order of seasons from the most amount of daylight to the least amount of daylight is A: summer, spring, autumn, winter.
Here's why:
-
Summer: During the summer solstice, the tilt of the Earth's axis is towards the sun, which means the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and we get the longest day of the year. This is why summer has the most daylight.
-
Spring: Before it becomes summer, during spring, the Earth is tilting towards the sun. The days are getting longer, so there's more daylight than in autumn and winter, but less than in summer.
-
Autumn: After summer, the Earth starts tilting away from the sun, which means the days start getting shorter. So, autumn has less daylight than summer and spring.
-
Winter: During the winter solstice, the tilt of the Earth's axis is away from the sun, which means the sun reaches its lowest point in the sky and we get the shortest day of the year. This is why winter has the least daylight.
