Seasons
Seasons are divisions of the year, defined by changes in weather and the position of Earth in its orbit around the Sun. The seasons occur because of the tilt in the Earth's axis with respect to the plane of Earth's orbit. Spring, summer, autumn and winter are four well recognized seasons. In some tropical regions, there may be additional periods such as a dry season or a rainy season.
