On Earh, many life forms live in places where they have four seasons - spring, summer, winter, and fall. Everyday, the sun goes up and the sun goes down. Not all places on Earth are like that.

Seasons get even stranger on different planets.

In Antarctica, the penguins get excited by the sun and the chance to sunbathe on the ice for the next six months. The warm season has arrived.
