Season ::
Season (n.) One of the
divisions of the year,
marked by
alternations in the
length of day and
night, or by
distinct conditions of
temperature, moisture, etc.,
caused mainly by the
relative position of the earth with
respect to the sun. In the north
temperate zone, four
seasons, namely, spring, summer, autumn, and
winter, are
generally recognized. Some parts of the world have three
seasons, -- the dry, the
rainy, and the cold; other parts have but two, -- the dry and the
rainy..
