From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A season is a division of the year, marked by changes in weather. 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 June, July and August, the northern hemisphere is exposed to more direct sunlight because the hemisphere faces the sun. The same is true of the southern hemisphere in December, January, and February. 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. In temperate and polar regions generally four 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] From Wikipedia under the
GNU Free Documentation License How many episodes of a tv series constitutes one season and how many seasons are there in one year? Q. TV series like House, Monk,or any weekly shows from comedy to drama seem to be on for a couple of months, then they show a season finale. I know a few months later a new season starts. I wondered how many episodes constitute a season and how many seasons are there in a year. I wonder how long does a show have to be on before they reach their 100 episodes.

Answered by COONISM FTW - Tue May 12 15:16:58 2009 How do we have have seasons if the earth is round? Q. Scientist say the Earth is round, then again they say we have seasons because it is tilted towards the sun. So the question is are the scientist lieing to each other? In order to have seasons the earth would have to be oval shaped. So if it is round, how do we have seasons? Asked by utunr247 - Tue Jan 8 10:31:57 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. ( / ) --- O --- ( / ) Earth 6-20 --- Sun --- Earth 12-21, 2008 The parentheses are to show the Earth is round; the slash is to show the axis (the tilt) of the Earth. 6-20, on the first day of summer, the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun (our summer), the southern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun (their winter). After six months of the earth traveling around the sun... 12-21, on the first day of winter, the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun (our winter), the southern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun (their summer). Answered by Michelle M - Tue Jan 8 10:51:21 2008 Why do the seasons in Australia start on the 1st day of the month as opposed to the 21st, everywhere else?
Q. I've always wondered why in Australia the seasons start on the 1st of every third month as opposed to most other countries I know of that start on the 21st of every third month. Eg. Summer in Australia starts on the 1st of December. However winter in the Northern hemisphere doesn't begin until the 21st of December. Shouldn't summer begin on the 21st of December as well? Are there any other countries that do this as well? And if so why? Which is the correct date? Asked by laxydaisical - Mon Mar 9 07:42:36 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Australia apparently uses meteorological seasons rather than astronomical seasons. The December-February period is the coldest (or warmest) three calendar months of the year, and so from a weather standpoint that's the winter (summer) season. The traditional seasons are based on the Sun's apparent motion in the sky; the dates are somewhat variable year to year and slowly changing due to precession of the equinoxes. One system is no more "right" than the other; they're just based on different sets of observations. If you're interested in weather patterns, the meteorological definition is more appropriate; for astronomical work, the traditional definition is better.
