Answer 1

Classification of Seasons

1. Astronomical Classification: Determined by the Earth’s 23.5° axial tilt in relation to its orbit around the Sun. Seasons change on specific calendar dates known as Solstices (the maximum tilt toward or away from the sun) and Equinoxes (when the sun is directly above the equator, making day and night equal).
2. Meteorological Classification: Meteorologists organized the data using temperature cycles and the Gregorian calendar. The year is divided into four clean three-month segments. This system closely follows civil calendar months, making climatic record-keeping easier.
3. Regional Classifications: Local geographic factors like as monsoons, ocean currents, and pressure belts influence its shape. For example, equatorial regions reject the four-season model entirely, defining their year strictly by moisture levels as “Wet” or “Dry”.

The Seasons of India are majorly classified as Summer, Winter, Autumn, Spring and Monsoon seasons.

1. Spring Season: The spring season in India lasts two months, from February to March. It’s a lovely and beautiful season, with an average temperature of 32° C. It begins after the winter and lasts until summer arrives. This season brings longer days and shorter nights.

2. Summer Season: Summer in northwestern India lasts from April to July, but in the rest of the nation it lasts from March to May, sometimes until mid-June. This season is marked by high temperatures and little humidity. The temperature in the north rises as the Sun’s vertical rays reach the Tropic of Cancer. The pre-monsoon season is also known as the hot weather season.
3. Monsoon Season: The southwest summer monsoon, a four-month period in which enormous convective thunderstorms dominate Indian weather, is the planet’s most productive wet season. In India, the rainy season, often known as the monsoon, lasts from June to September.
4. Autumn Season: Autumn begins in September and lasts until October. The hot and humid weather begins to fade and leaves begin to fall from the trees during this season, which is also known as the fall. It begins after the monsoon or rainy season and continues until the start of the pre-winter season. The average temperature this season remains about 33° C.
5. Winter Season: Mid-December to mid-March is considered the winter season in India. South of the equator, the sun appears to be moving. This season is distinguished by bright skies, pleasant weather, cool and mild northeast trade winds, low temperatures, low humidity, and a wide range of temperatures.
