    I don’t entirely disagree with their reasoning, but seasons are defined by the rotation and tilt of the Earth.

      There are both astronomical and meteorological seasons.

      Astronomical summer is June 21 to September 22. Meteorological summer is June July and August.

      That’s only tenuously true. They’re mainly driven by earth’s orientation, sure, but if that was all then you wouldn’t get regional variations in seasons (like the wet & dry seasons some places get, rather than the 4 we get in most places).

      It would also be impossible for winter to come early, and you ask any farmer they’ll tell you that’s a thing which happens
