A season is a division of the year, marked by changes in weather, ecology, and hours of daylight.

Seasons result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the plane of revolution. In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to go into hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant.

During May, June and July, the northern hemisphere is exposed to more direct sunlight because the hemisphere faces the sun. The same is true of the southern hemisphere in November, December and January. It is the tilt of the Earth that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months which increases the solar flux. However, due to seasonal lag, June, July and August are the hottest months in the northern hemisphere and December, January and February are the hottest months in the southern hemisphere.

In temperate and subpolar regions generally four calendar based seasons are recognized: spring, summer, autumn, winter.

In some tropical and subtropical regions it is more common to speak of the rainy (or wet, or monsoon) season versus the dry season, because the amount of precipitation may vary more dramatically than the average temperature. For example, in Nicaragua, the dry season is called Summer (Oct to May) and the rainy season is called Winter (Apr to Nov) even though it is located in the northern hemisphere.

In other tropical areas a three-way division into hot, rainy and cool season is used.

In some parts of the world, special "seasons" are loosely defined based upon important events such as a hurricane season, tornado season or a wildfire season.

Chinese seasons are traditionally based on 24 periods known as solar terms, and begin at the midpoint of solstices and equinoxes.[2]

When does the new season of Deadliest Catch start?
Q. Season 4 ended not too long ago, and I want to know when season 5 starts. And when season 4 will be on DVD.

A. I have not yet seen a premier date for Season 5. Instead, I have read that on April 8, 2008 Discovery announced Deadliest Catch will return for a fifth season in its 2008-2009 lineup. Season 4 can be purchased on-line at the Deadliest Catch Store for $ 49.95 with an estimated shipping date of November 12.

Could I season my chicken fried steak breading with rosemary?
Q. I'm just trying to come up with something different, plus I have a rosemary plant and I really want to use some of it. Or, maybe if not with the flour coating, could I season mashed potatoes with rosemary? And how would I go about doing that? Would it taste good, or would the flavors clash?
Asked by Mrs.Randles - Thu Dec 11 12:20:40 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I wouldn't put it in the mashed potatoes. Rosemary is pretty chewy and it would ruin the texture. You can add it to the coating if you chop it finely, but rosemary is a dominating flavor so go easy and don't add anything else besides salt and pepper. Rosemary doesn't play well with other herbs. You could also put a sprig into the frying oil to flavor the oil and get the taste that way. Similar to what you'd do making sage butter for pasta. Another good thing is to do a pork roast or leg of lamb. Cut slits in the roast and shove in rosemary leaves and slices of fresh garlic, using the tip of a paring knife to ram it in.

What to season the baked chicken with when adding cilantro and wrapping it up in a corn tortillia?
Q. I'm trying to keep this simple and low fat since I'm watching my calories and fat right now. I'm simply baking chicken breasts, then shreadding it up with some fresh cilantro, then wrapping it up in a corn shell. What spices would be good to lightly season the chicken breast so it isnt totally plain?? Thanks!
Asked by unknown - Wed Nov 7 10:50:30 2007 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Salt, pepper, garlic/onion powder, and some lime juice. Make a fresh pico de gallo from tomatoes, a hot pepper, cilantro, salt, pepper, onions, a little bit of lime juice, and a little water. Rough chop the tomatoes, cilantro, and onion, while mincing-up the pepper. The difference in taste between cooked ingredients on the chicken and the raw ingredients in the salsa are very complimentary.
