Santa wears a Speedo?

Current Events???


mini-movie on the Earth's tilt

earth's Tilt cause different seasons and holidays


Did you know that in the southern hemisphere- during Christmas- it is hot???  Bbq, beaches, swimsuits!

Earth has the four seasons because of the tilt of the axis is at 23.5 degrees. In other terms- Earth sits on it's side while it spins through the cosmos.

The Suns light hits the Earth directly and indirectly- warming some spots more than others....

Because of this tilt- hoildays around the world look and feel different everywhere.

Culture is directly affected becuase of space...WOW!

My county is canada it is in the northern part of the world. So it is much colder than astralia .And guess what there santa wears a speedo!But mine wears a hat and gloves. So when it's summer here it's winter there. It's cool were just the opist from astralia.It's cool science!!!

Quinn Benson said...

The earth has seasons becase of the earths angle. So its hotter in the southern hemspere cause they get hit with more sunlight. And colder in northen hemsphere. Theere are Four seasons. THey are caused by earths tilt. the angle is 23.5 degrees. So swizland is not as hot.

carter curtis said...

Why do we have seasons. Because the earth doesnt rotate straight up and down it is tilting. That makes one part of the earth have more sun. Like in brazil it would be summer there when it is winter here. The earth tilts at a 23.5 angle wich makes one part of the earth more visible to the sun. In the winter time in the southern part of the earth it is very warm in the winter. And in some places it doesnt even snow. So that is how we get our seasons

bridger bryson said...

I learned that while we have summer the southern hemisphere has winter. Also the axis has affect on the seasons. I also learned that Somalia is in the northern hemisphere. The axis can affect cultures. The earths rotation causes the seasons to change (the weather warmer or colder). I think that the southern hemisphere is mean, because they celebrate Christmas in swimming suits. That is what i learned and think.

Parker Mathys said...

They country that I'm doing is Switzerland, so that's in the Northern Hemisphere. Their Santa probably wears a long sleeve shirt in the winter with long pants. And shorts and a t-shirt in the summer.

The seasons are different on the north and south hemisphere because when the sun is shinning on the south hemisphere it's summer there and winter in the northern hemisphere. In spring in the northern hemisphere it;s fall in the southern hemisphere. When it's fall in the northern hemisphere it's spring in the southern hemisphere. So when the earth tilts the seasons are just the opposite.

Reese Houser said...

I think Santa in a speedo is a crazy thought. Because people in the southern hemisphere think Santa wears a speedo. Because in the winter time the southern hemisphere is still pretty hot! Because the earth is on a tilt. So the sun is almost always hitting the southern hemisphere. So probably all of the northern and southern hemispheres cultures and holidays are different. As you can see, because Santa wears a speedo.

Brin Israelsen said...

Today I learnd how the tilt of the earth efects the cultures of the world. If it is hot then you are going to have different culters as if it is cold or vise versa. Like some of the southern hemisperes have santa dress in a speedo. I think that it would be funny to see santa in a speedo because he is this older kinda chubby guy.But I do beleive he does were a speedo because in the Southern hemispere December is cold. It would also be kinda wierd to see santa in a speedo because I am used to seeing santa in a coat, hat, and snow boots. But if someone from a place that santa weres a speedo and they saw our santa they would think our santa is weird looking.

brady stuart said...

In somlia santa does not wear a speedo. Somalia is in the northern hemesphere but it is by the equater. The earths tilt causes the seasons. In america it could be winter and in brazil it would be summer. The diffrent climates effect the cultures like us in Cache valley celebrate Christmas in snow. Australia would go outside and hang out. It is amazing how the earth is so unique.

Aaron McNeil said...

My country is in the northern hemisphere, and the Santa probably wears a long sleeve shirt. The seasons change when the earth tilts on its axis the seasons change. Since the hemispheres are in different seasons at a time it causes it to be different temperatures all year round. The earths turn on its axis is tilted 23.5 degrees instead of being strait up.
When the seasons change the cause of it is because of the earths rotation on the axis. When the seasons change it changes different cultures on this earth.

zach swensen said...

Somalia is in the northern hemesfere. That means that when it is Christmas it is cold so santa dosnt where a speedo. The Earth rotats and has four seasons because of the Earths axis at 23.5 degrees. In the southern hemesfere it is hot in the winter and cold in the Summer so it is probebly getting warmer. it will epect peoples religune because in somalia some groups might like the snow. So in the northern hemesfere they celebrate Cristmas on the beach with shorts. Somalia is getting colder with us.

TAD WE LRD THAT EARTH TED ID ON IT'S AKAS AND WE SAW A VIDOW

Kaysha Stimpson said...

Why does Santa wear a speedo when it's cold in the northern emesphere but in the southern emesphere.It's different for us because were in the nothern emesphere our country is Mexico that is in the northern part.Also why does the tilt of the earth effect our cultures?like when it's Christmas in the northern part it's summer in the southern part.When their celebrating Christmas in the southern part we are in the summer and I heard that santa rides on a Kangaroo in the southern emesphere but in the northern he has reindeer but we all know that.

Grant Ferrin said...

My Santa does not wear a speedo because we are in the northern hemisphere and it is so cold in France. I think it is also a weird thinking that Santa wears a speedo. If I were Santa I don't think that I would were a speedo. I don't know why people think that he wheres a speedo because other people don't even think that Santa is not even real. France is a lot hotter than Utah when it is winter so I think that Santa is at least wearing a jacket or a long sleeved shirt. know my teacher is telling me that Santa rides Kangaroos not Reindeer. If I where Santa i would not even ride Reindeer.

Elise Sparrow said...

Did know that "Santa wears a speedo" in some places. The reason the seasons change is because the earth is tilting on its axis. The seasons are different in various parts in the world. For instance if you live in Utah and it's winter, then summer in Australia. So in Australia santa wears a speedo has a kangaroo pulling his sleigh. The seasons can also affect people's culture. For instance the people in Alaska might dress differently than people in Hawaii. The way the seasons change makes our world the it is.

Madelynn Hayes said...

Madelynn Hayes,

Today we learned about how sesones change around the sun. Bellow the equaterit is Summer. And above the equater it is Winter. Above the equator is france. But doesn't get much snow. Some cultures don't sellabrate Crismas because it is so hot there! Sometimes santa rides a sled hooked up too Kangaroos!

Saige Obray said...

Today we learned how earth has different seasons because of the tilt of the earth. Every culture has different times determining when they have the four different seasons. For example: in the northern hemisphere when are cultures are in the middle of winter, when in the southern hemisphere those cultures are having summer.The seasons then switch around in the northern and southern hemispheres.The northern hemisphere then has summer when the southern hemisphere is having winter. I can't believe that while we are freezing in the northern hemisphere people and cultures in the southern hemisphere they are having their winter/Christmas on the beach. While they are wearing short shorts,tank tops, and swimming suits! Their Santa is in a speedo with a kangaroo sleigh (instead of in a warm coat, hat, boots,and a reindeer sleigh!)

kalista fournerat said...

now i know that the tilt in the earth affects the cultures. the earth is split in half causing the to have a northern hemisphere and a southern hemisphere. in the southern hemisphere instead of December being rather cold its actually its very hot.and the reason i say that is because in the southern hemispheres its the other way around like i said, December is hot instead of cold.did you know that Santa wears a speedo in December? i find that kinda odd don't you? and since its hot Santa doesn't not ride rain deers.kinda cool right.

karla miranda said...

today we are learned about the tilt of the earth and how it affects earth cultures. I can belive that in the southern.

brendan thayn said...

the southern hemisphere gets more light than the northern hemisphere because the tilt of the earth. And beacause most of the lite shinse on the southern hemisphere. In the the southern hemisphere. Santa wears a speedo. And uses kangoroos. Roodof the red nose kangaroo. And it is cold in the northern hemisphere.

Morgan Hepner said...

Why dose Santa were a Seedo? 1 reson Santa weres a speedo in Braizl is because in the sothern its hot in the winter. Today we also learned about the Earth and how it affects Earth's cultures. Any were in the southern it is hot in winter. We also leaned that in the norther it gets cold in the winter.In the sothern they celebrate cristmas on the beach in shorts and tank tops. In the souther hemisphere santa weres a speedo in the winter because it is hot. The weather gets cold in the northern hemisphere because there is no sun.

Carter Ostermiller said...

the earth's axis causes seasons. when it tilts, the southern hemisphere gets more heat. it's summer there. but in the north, it's colder. its winter there. when it revolves around the sun, the sun hits both sides equally. it's spring & autumn on the world. so it's the axis of the earth that makes the seasons change. and mrs. nanna, plaese don't tell us to think of stuff like that again.

Daniel Neilson said...

Today we learned about the tilt of the Earth and how it causes different seasons. On earth we have four seasons. the four seasons are Summer, Spring, Winter, and fall. When it is Winter here it is it is Summer their. They spend their x-mas outside. I think it would be weird to spend your x-mas on the beach or at a Barbaque. I also think it would be fun to do it both ways.

Dallen DeWaal said...

My country is Ethiopia. Ethiopia is in the southern hemispere. In Ethiopia, christmas is hot so santa would wear a speedo!(:D)I would love to see santa wear a speedo. Sadly, I can't. :P I'm just glad I get to have christmas in america. China doesn't.

Blake Stettler said...

My country is France, that means that it is cold during the months of November, December, and January. but that is the opposite for the southern hemisphere. The earth is tilted meaning the the northern and southern hemisphere have opposite seasons. "Hot, hot, hot! Thats what santa would say down in the southern hemisphere because when its christmas down there, temperatures can be a blazing 100 degrees!Unlike other countries above the equator, such as France. But for the southern hemisphere, Santa defenitely would be wearing a speedo. Sorry kids.

Levi Hopkins said...

My country is China, which is in the Northern Hemisphere. So naturally it's colder than Chile. (which is in the Southern Hemisphere. Santa most likely would be wearing a speedo! I thought it was interesting how Earth gets it's seasons. It's super cool! Personally, I think it's pretty weird while it's winter in Utah, it's summer in Chile! It's pretty cool and weird at the same time. But that shows you that science is still working. (Opposed to when it's not working)

dyllan thompson-wick said...

The tilt of the world makes it cold in one place and hot in another. it does this because ther is only one sun there is diffrent seasons. northpole is cold in summer and in provedence is hot.

Aubree Adams said...

Today we learned about the tilt of the earth. The tilt of the earth is 23.5. that means in cristmas santa is wearing a spedo. and in usa we are wearing coats and gloves in december. and in june it is summer here and in the north pole it is cold. wouldn't that be weird to live in the north pole. Can you picture that.

Sephia Bracken said...

Today we learned about the tilt of the Earth and how it causes the different seasons. Did you know that during Christmas it is hot if you live in the southern hemisphere.? I think that would be weird!

Jenny Luu said...

Today I learned that the earth is tilted so it causes diffrent seasons.Did you know that during christmas it is really hot if you live in the Southern hemisphere?I think that is really cool!people who live in the Southern hemisphere,celebrate christmas in a summer way. They go to the beach,they BBQ,and they do picnics.

jayden smith said...

My country is New Zealand. I now know that if it is winter here its summer there.We learned how the earth makes seasons because of its axle.In the lower part of earth it is hot during christmas.I would not want to go to the lower part of the earth for chrismes. That would be weird if you saw santa in a speedo.

Nicole Price said...

The northern part of the world is called the Northern hemisphere. When it is cold up there it is burning hot in the southern hemisphere. My country is Italy when it is hot in Utah it is also hot in Italy to. I wonder what it would be like to have Christmas when it is burning hot outside. I would like to have it be hot outside during Christmas,because if you got a bike or something you could ride it right when you open it. I wish my birthday was in summer because then I could do more fun stuff for my birthday party.

allyse tibbitts said...

We learned about the earths tilt today. The earth is'nt just straight up and down its on a tilt. This causes the four seasons. In the southern hemisphere it is very hot. they never ever get snow. I think thats really weird.The country I'm doing my report on is marocco. marocco is in the southern hemisphere so it is very hot thier.

Emmalee Smedley said...

In the southern hemisphere, summer isn't in June, July, and August. Instead it is in November, December, and January. In Italy, it would be very cold because it is in Europe.During the winter, the sun would not be facing the country Italy.So, how the earth tilts effects what seasons there are in different countries and places. In some places, during the winter, it is cold. However, in some other places, it is very hot.

parker kennington said...

Today we learned about the tilt of the earth and how it causes the different seasons. Did you know that during Christmas it is hot if you live in the southern hemisphere? I think that would be weird. My place is Italy its kind of in the middle but I think its more on the northern. It would be cold.
I think Christmas would still be cold. I heard that the use canals as travel on boats. I wonder if they freeze.

Madison richins said...

My county MEXICO is going to be warmer in christmas. The vidio shoes on the one Southern Utha. But in MEXICO it is so hot that santa could were a speedo. I think that it would be weird to live in the Southern hemisphere,I THINK it would be very very weird!!!!

Grayson Johnson said...

Today we learned about the diffrent seasons and how the earth tilts. Did you know the earth tilts at 23.5. That means when the sun hits it makes diffrent seasons. If you live in the southern hemisphere and its chistmas its hot outside. I learned a lot in that one vidio. It will help me do my poster on Haiti. So if you live in the nourthern part of the hemispher for christmas it would be cold.

Cailee cutis said...

We have seasons because the earth tilts.When it's summer time in the southern hemisphere its winter time in the northern hemisphere.Chile is in the southern hemisphere.It would be hot on Christmas day for the Chileans and cold for us in Utah. the sun is not tilted thogh. In Utah it takes a while for the snow to go away.the reason for that is the earth is tilted.

emi ponce said...

my contry is haiti and that means that it is cold there right now.so that means that it is hot here.that's awsome.and santa wares a speedo over there when its cold over here.I like how science works.I wonder if haiti is really cold there right now. well that was my comment.

Ditton,Foster,Daniel said...

I am doing mexico and I want to point this out so here I go, I like tacos.
So anyways mexico is hoter than utah believe it or not santa looks
UGLY with a speedo. I dont care if he dies by a coat but he looks ugly with a speedo. so here is my advice DONT WHERE A SPEEDO SANTA!
mexico is a tipe of dry place. p.s mexican is just spanish.

Erik Benson said...

My country is china it is in the southern hemisphere it is generally warm or hot or cool but never that cold. I am freaking out at the thought of Santa in a Speedo . I think if I ever saw Santa in a speedo I would faint . Today we learned about the tilt of the earth and how it causes the different seasons. Did you know that during Christmas that if you lived in the southern hemisphere? I think that would be wired! Plus I love the cold weather.

clayton sorensen said...

My cunse is chily.Is hoter then her becus it is in a sothrn.It is in the soth amaerco.My cusen is in sath amaercu.I wont to go to chily. the food ther I tasid the candy. I thic it is a cooll caunse.

Konnor Derricott said...

Today we learned about the tilt of the Earth and how it causes the different seasons. Did you know that during Christmas it is hot if you lie in the southern hemisphere? I think that would be weird! In China they don't have Christmas because they aren't Christians.

Hailey Smith said...

Today we learned about the tilt of the earth and how it causes the different seasons. Did you Know that during christmas it is hot if you live in the southern hemisphere? I think that would be weird.Santa wears a speedo in the winter time!That would be pretty gross to have big old Santa in a speedo!I would'nt like living in Australia beacause I like having Santa come when it's cold.I also really like winter!

Ivan Torres said...

My country is France so when its summer here its Winter in the southern hemisphere.I think that its really cool because I thought the Earth was straight up and down but its acttually on a tilt at 23.5degrees.I wonder how they celebrate Christmas in the in the southhern hemisphere. I wonder if they celebrate easter.I wonder if they celebrate Christmas in china. I wonder if it snows in france. When it snows in france its hot in africa.

Jaxson Tidwell said...

Wy we have seasons? Because of the eaths tilt. At Chili in the summer
the sothern half is fascing the Sun. In the winter Chili is no close to the Sun. When the Earth obits the Sun the seasons change. It is hot on crismas at Chili. Then it is cold on the 4th of July.

Triston Ritter said...

The country my team and I are working on is Italy, which is located in the northern hemisphere. I think it would be really weird to have Christmas in the summer like they do in Argentina, which is in the southern hemisphere. They say Santa wears a speedo down in the southern hemisphere because it's so hot. You know, I really can't picture Santa in a speedo. I think Santa doesn't look right in a speedo but I grew up imagining Santa in a red coat. I wonder if people from the southern hemisphere would think that Santa would look weird in a red coat. If so I'd like to meet someone from there and make a drawing of Santa in a red coat and a speedo. Now that would look fantastic. I mean I would totally jump at the chance to see that, but i guess I'll just try to imagine him in my head till the day comes that I can see it.

arianna said...

my country is france it is cold in the winter so it is cold in chrimas wich means you do not were speedos you were a hat and gloves
every thing else

Colter Clark said...

The country that my team is working on is Morocoo it is in the Northern hemisphere. I think it would be nice to live in Morocoo. I think it would be weird to have Christmas in the summer. Did you know that the Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees. I think that it would weird if Santa wore a speedo. I think that Santa looks way better in a coat and all the other stuff. My favorite season is spring because it is cool. Santa in a speedo will haunt me forever.

erin peterson said...

My countries santa does not wear a speedo for many reasons. Because the earth is at a tilt of 23.5 degrees which causes seasons. There are four different seasons. Winter, summer, fall, and spring. So since the earth is on a tilt it and it rotates, causes the sun to shine directly on one side of a hemisphere. Which means that when its a cold winter day here its freezing cold in the southern hemisphere. But the earth rotates so it will soon switch.I'm Erin Peterson and my country is Canada.

The earths tilt efects my country because. In Brazil it is hot year round because it is near the equator.So they could go to the beach on New Years or Christmas. They can also wear shorts on Christmas and New Years. They can also ride bikes. But they can not go snowmobeling but they can go surfing.Santa in a speedo would be creepy.

Elaine Olson said...

Michael Olson
The earth's tilt effects Brazil because the sun shines on Brazil all year long. In Brazil on Christmas and New Years you can go to the beach and go surfing if they wanted to because it is warm. It is warm because it is near the equator. Brazil can grow many fruits and vegetables year round which we can enjoy. In Brazil they cannot go snowmobiling or skiing because it is to hot. In Brazil it is very humid and hot because it is a rainforest. Santa would be able to wear a speedo year round in Brazil.

I got 36 out of 36 questions right on the Geography test that I took on the computer.

Jessica Low said...

My country is Mexico and it is in the Nouthren Hemphisphere. That means that santa would wear a Speedo. Weired! Just think santa in a speedo.

Taylie Purser said...

My country is Mexico so my Santa just wears long sleeves because it is hot but not hot enough for him to wear one. The earths tilt also effects the seasons becuse the earth rotates on its axis so that is what changes the seasons.
