   1. One of the divisions of the year, marked by alterations in
      the length of day and night, or by distinct conditions of
      temperature, moisture, etc., caused mainly by the relative
      position of the earth with respect to the sun. In the
      north temperate zone, four seasons, namely, spring,
      summer, autumn, and winter, are generally recognized. Some
      parts of the world have three seasons, -- the dry, the
      rainy, and the cold; other parts have but two, -- the dry
      and the rainy.
