"Invierno" is the Spanish word for "winter," a season characterized by cold temperatures, shorter days, and often snowfall in many regions. It typically occurs between December and February in the Northern Hemisphere and June to August in the Southern Hemisphere. During this time, many animals enter hibernation, and plants may go dormant, conserving energy until warmer weather returns. In many cultures, Invierno is associated with various traditions and celebrations. For example, Christmas and New Year's festivities often take place during this season. Additionally, winter sports like skiing and snowboarding become popular as people take advantage of the snowy landscapes.
