  2. Seasonal lag - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_lag

    The diagram uses neopagan labeling; Litha is the summer solstice, Yule is the winter solstice, Ostara is the vernal equinox, and Mabon is the autumnal equinox. Earth's seasonal lag is largely caused by the presence of large amounts of water, which has a high latent heat of freezing and of condensation. [1]

  3. Milankovitch cycles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles

    The seasons are quadrants of the Earth's orbit, marked by the two solstices and the two equinoxes. Kepler's second law states that a body in orbit traces equal areas over equal times; its orbital velocity is highest around perihelion and lowest around aphelion. [14] The Earth spends less time near perihelion and more time near aphelion.

  4. Seasons on planets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasons_on_planets

    Given the different Sun incidence in different positions in the orbit, it is necessary to define a standard point of the orbit of the planet, to define the planet position in the orbit at each moment of the year w.r.t such point; this point is called with several names: vernal equinox, spring equinox, March equinox, all equivalent, and named considering northern hemisphere seasons.

  5. Season - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Season

    A season is a division of the year [1] based on changes in weather, ecology, and the number of daylight hours in a given region. On Earth, seasons are the result of the axial parallelism of Earth's tilted orbit around the Sun.

  6. Seasonal year - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasonal_year

    A study of temperature records over the past 300 years [1] suggests that the seasonal year is governed by the anomalistic year rather than the tropical year. This suggestion is surprising because the seasons have been thought to be governed by the tilt of the Earth's axis (see Effect of sun angle on climate). The two types of years differ by a ...

  9. Atmospheric circulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_circulation

    The Earth's atmospheric circulation varies from year to year, but the large-scale structure of its circulation remains fairly constant. The smaller-scale weather systems – mid-latitude depressions , or tropical convective cells – occur chaotically, and long-range weather predictions of those cannot be made beyond ten days in practice, or a ...
