Colorado's Weather  

Colorado's Weather can change in the blink of an eye. We are very luck to be able to enjoy all four seasons. We know that the seasons occur because of the Earth's tilt. 

As we know the Earth revolves around the sun because of the tilt and the time of the rotation of the sun we will be experiencing four seasons (Summer, Spring,Winter,and Fall)

How the seasons happen 

  Colorado is located on the Northern Hemisphere. We are able to see where it faces when it rotates during each of the labeled seasons. 

 

 

 

 

Equator

Colorado is also located further from the equator. As it says in the image above that the rays of the sun are almost directly above the equators location. Colorado is above the equator so the temperatures are not as high as those states and counties near or on the equator,
  

The Earths tilt is 23.5 degrees. When the northern hemisphere of the earth is  tilted toward the sun (Summer and spring) The earth and Colorado are facing the sun for a longer period of time. When the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the earth there is less time to be in the sun and the earth will be cooler. During summer and spring the waves from the solar output we are getting are longer well waves in the winter would be cooler. The earths tilt and the location of Colorado is the reason Colorado experiences all four seasons.

Mt.Evans

       Hi!My name is Aleah Vigil and for my Blog I picked Colorado Because I LOVE it so much. I was born and raised in Colorado, there is so many amazing things that happen here.We have beautiful views and get to see every season. We are 5280feet above sea level how cool is that? the picture I took was at Mt.Evans with my family. My first time to Mt.Evans was just a few weeks ago and I have never seen so many breathtaking views or felt more happy to freeze to get a sweet profile picture.   I am going to be majoring in early child education because I love children and want to give them the best experience in the start if their education

 

This was taken at Summit Lake Park I was so cold but I needed my little mermaid moment 

There is no place in the world that I will love more than my own "backyard"
