Year
A
year
is the
orbital period
of the
Earth
moving in
its orbit
around the
Sun
. Due to the Earth's
axial tilt
, the course of a year sees the passing of the
seasons
, marked by changes in
weather
, the hours of
daylight
, and consequently
vegetation
and
fertility
. In
temperate
and
subpolar
regions, generally four seasons are recognized:
spring
,
summer
,
autumn
and
winter
. In seasonal
tropical
and
subtropical
regions, the
wet
(
rainy
or
monsoon
) season and the
dry season
are generally recognized.
