GlossarySeasonal Changes

variations in environmental conditions due to Earth's orbit

Seasonal changes refer to the variations in environmental conditions that occur as the Earth orbits around the Sun, leading to different seasons such as winter, spring, summer, and autumn. These changes can affect various biological processes, including hair growth cycles, where some individuals may experience increased hair shedding in the fall and spring due to shifts in daylight and temperature.
