season

  1. One of four natural divisions of the year鈥攕pring, summer, autumn, and winter鈥攊n temperate zones. Each season has its own characteristic weather and lasts approximately three months. The change in the seasons is brought about by the shift in the angle at which the Sun's rays strike the Earth. This angle changes as the Earth orbits in its yearly cycle around the Sun due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. For example, when the northern or southern hemisphere of the Earth is at an angle predominantly facing the Sun and has more daylight hours of direct, overhead sunlight than nighttime hours, it is in its summer season; the opposite hemisphere is in then opposite condition and is in its winter season.
  2. See also equinox
  3. In some tropical climates, either of the two divisions鈥攔ainy and dry鈥攊nto which the year is divided. These divisions are defined on the basis of levels of precipitation.
