His science behind autumn

His science behind autumn
P K Routray

When the sun takes a south ward turn
moving towards the tropic of Capricorn,
when the earth takes from the sun its north- half away
to keep the sun’s scorching heat at bay,
the autumn descends on the north
harbingering the cold winter after a while to come forth,
on the northern hemisphere
with a cool and clean atmosphere.
After the rain
the atmosphere does not retain
the dust particles
to absorb a part of the sun’s heat cycles,
but the sun goes away
throwing its rays in zigzag way
so the earth remains cool
the creator is great in creating the cosmos with a befitting rule.
During the rain
much nutrients, plants do gain.
Without photo synthesis for a while
plants can survive still.
Without direct rays from the sun
leaves cannot help much in plants’ food production.
Hence the old leaves are easily shed
new leaves to come in spring two seasons ahead.
With storage of food
the plants can survive but have to stand barren and nude.
The spring comes between winter and summer,
the autumn comes between rain and winter,
Summer and winter have extreme weather,
on two parts of the same northern hemisphere.
for the countries away from tropic of cancer,
Autumn is pleasant welcome and is much longed for,
for the countries beyond line of cancer
Spring is a welcome season much sought after.
