All places on earth have weather. Weather can be wonderful or it can be terrible. Sometimes it benefits human activities whereas other times it is destructive.
Weather has different components which involve precipitation and climate. Both these parts affect human life on earth. They determine what we can do and when we can do it. Canada is a little different from most countries. Canada has two dramatically different seasons in regard to temperature, weather and activities.
Summer is a wonderful season with great temperatures and fine weather that allows for many fun events. High temperatures are caused by direct sunlight as the earth tilts in a direct line with the sun. The only difficulty is we have a certain amount of rain, fog and even hail. Both summer and winter have quite a bit of difficult precipitation. Most people enjoy the great variety of weather brought about by temperature differences and different weather conditions. Although people in Canada generally like to do outdoor sports in all seasons, including winter, we particularly enjoy being active in summer. Many people like to go into nature in order to hike, swim, picnic and participate in outdoor sports. This is the favourite season of most people; however, it is not the season for which Canada is known.
Winter is a very cold time in Canada with harsh weather that forces many people indoors while a few practice winter sports. Low temperatures are caused by the oblique angle of the earth in relation to the sun. Like in summer, there are different kinds of precipitation that can be difficult to endure. These include snow, ice storms and freezing rain with very sharp, cold winds. It can be beautiful when the sun shines on the freshly fallen snow and ice glistens in the trees. Many people hide inside and do only indoor activities. Others take winter vacations in the southern United States or the Caribbean. Some Canadians, however, like to get outside to ski,
