Why is it called H2H Spring 2013 on the front page?
Because it's spring somewhere in the world... God, yankees and their closeminded feelings that the US is the center of the world...
It's WINTER on one side of the equator and SUMMER on the other side you dumb fuck! It isn't spring anywhere in the world right now!
hey fucktard... the seasons are defined by the changes in weather and the hours of daylight... in the subartic, winter lasts for around 10 months... summer lasts around 1 month... do the math, DUMB FUCK!
The seasons are defined by the position of the sun over the earth. There are 4 seasons everywhere. Weather your hours of daylight are different than others on the earth is irrelevant!
The astronomical definition of the seasons relate to specific points in Earth's trip around the sun. The summer and winter solstice, the longest and shortest day of the year, occur when the axis of the Earth is either closest or farthest from the sun. The summer solstice in the northern hemisphere occurs around June 21, the same day as the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere. The south's summer solstice occurs around December 21, the winter solstice for the north. In both hemispheres, the summer solstice marks the first day of astronomical summer, while the winter solstice is considered the first day of astronomical winter.
Equinoxes are another significant day during Earth's journey around the sun. On these days, the planet's axis is pointed parallel to the sun, rather than toward or away from it. Day and night during the equinoxes are supposed to be close to equal. The spring, or vernal, equinox for the northern hemisphere takes place around March 20, the same day as the south's autumnal equinox. The vernal equinox in the southern hemisphere occurs around September 20, when people in the north celebrate the autumnal equinox. The vernal equinox marks the first day of astronomical spring for a hemisphere, while the autumnal equinox ushers in the first day of fall. [INFOGRAPHIC: Earth's Solstices & Equinoxes Explained]
