A season is one of the major divisions of the year, generally based on yearly periodic changes in weather. In temperate and polar regions generally four seasons are recognised: spring, summer, autumn (fall), and 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, as the amount of precipitation may vary mo ...

Many large American cities have a more-or-less official social season, although only those persons on the social register may be aware of its existence. In the US, timing of the social season is adapted to the climate, rather than to the sitting of Parliament, and may start as early as the autumn and end in the early summer when the upper classes traditionally fled the hot and sticky cities for the so-called camps of the Adirondacks or seaside retreats such as the Hamptons. In New York, the opening of the Metropolitan Opera in September is a major event of the early social season; in Los ...

The Christmas season (also known in the United States as holiday season) is a term that covers the time when two interconnected periods of celebration are held.

Although there is no official beginning to the Christmas season, in some countries it is marked by annual Christ ...

The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season officially began June 1, 2005, and officially ended on November 30, 2005; however the season extended through December, for the fifth time since 1998, and actually into January 2006 for only the second time in recorded history. This can be attributed to the activity of Hurricane Epsilon and Tropical Storm Zeta, the latter of which was still active at the beginning of 2006. The official dates conventionally delimit the period wh ...

The ultimate cause of the seasons is the fact that the Earth's axis is not perpendicular to its orbital plane; it deviates by an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees of arc. Thus, at any given time during the summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun (see Fig. 1). This exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit. At any given time, regardless of season, the northern and southern hemispheres experience opposite seasons (see F ...

In sports, the offseason is that time of year when there is no official competition. In North America, this means time outside of the regular season and playoffs. During this time, upper management continues to work while the athletes will take much vacation time off. Also, various events such as drafts and important offseason free agent signings occur. Generally, most athletes stay in shape during the offseason in preparation for the next season. In Britain this period is known as the close-season. < ...

To account for these apparent discrepancies, Paul Cornell proposed the "Season 6B" theory, first published in the 1995 book The Discontinuity Guide, by Cornell, Martin Day and Keith Topping. This hypothetical season took place off-camera between The War Games and Spearhead from Space, and had Troughton's Doctor working as an agent of the Time Lords, who granted him increased control over his TARDIS at the cost of his freedom. The Second Doctor who showed up in The Five Doctors came from this period, and was there ...

A common misconception is that, within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, the sun rises once in the spring and sets once in the fall; thus, the day and night are erroneously thought to last uninterrupted for 183 calendar days each. This is true only in the immediate region of the poles themselves. What does happen is that any point north of the Arctic (or south of the Antarctic) Circle will have one period in the summer when the sun does not set, and one period in the winter when the sun does not rise. At progressively higher latitudes ...

Rabbit Seasoning - Synopsis. The cartoon finds Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck again arguing over which of them is in season, while a befuddled Elmer Fudd tries to figure out which animal is telling the truth. Between using sneaky plays-on-words, and dressing himself in women's clothing (including a Lana Turner-style sweater), Bugs manages to escape unscathed, while Daffy repeatedly has his beak blown off, upside-down, or to the side by Elmer. < ...

The orchestral parts are for 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons and contrabassoon, 4 French horns, 2 trumpets, timpani, 2 trombones and bass trombone, and the usual string section of first and second ...
