Seasons refer to the four distinct divisions of the year—spring, summer, autumn (or fall), and winter—characterized by specific weather patterns, temperatures, and daylight hours. This cyclical phenomenon is primarily driven by the Earth’s axial tilt and its orbit around the sun, leading to variations in sunlight exposure at different times of the year. Each season offers unique environmental changes, such as blooming flowers in spring, warmth and longer days in summer, shedding leaves in autumn, and cold, possibly snowy conditions in winter.
