Yom Kipport occurs either at the end of Summer or the beginning of Fall, but there is no observance-related connection between Yom Kippur and any season.
No. Between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are the "10 Days of Awe". It's a period of reflection.
Around 15 or 30 minutes after sunset.Yom Kippur: the Neilah ServiceOn Yom Kippur, the last service of all-day praying is the Neilah Service which ends with the Shofar sounding. One should blow the Shofar the sounds tekiah, shevarim teruah, tekiah, although there are authorities who say that one should blow just one tekiah. The Shofar should be sounded after the cantor has said the Kaddish following the Neilah prayer. Some localities have adopted the practice of having the Shofar sounded after the Kaddish prayer. (Shulchan Aruch 623:12)See Arthur L. Finkle, Easy Guide for Sofat Sounding, Torah Aura, LA, 2002The blowing of the Shofar signifies the end of Yom Kippur, and after it the prayer 'Leshana Habaa Beyrushalayim' (Next year in Jerusalem) is recited aloud in song.In terms of the actual time, it depends on your particular location.

Yom Kippur is a total fast, observant Jews do not eat or drink anything for about 25 hours, from sunset on the eve of Yom Kippur to nightfall the next night. The tradition also bans wearing of leather, wearing perfume, and bathing during that period. (If someone's health is endangered, however, the fast must be broken.) The Yom Kippur liturgy is long, with special melodies that are used only once a year, penitential and confessional prayers, and the reading of the Book of Jonah. The service marking the end of Yom Kippur ends with a long blast of the Shofar, at which point, a congregation of hungry thirsty people descends on food.
Some symbols used in the Yom Kippur ceremony include the shofar (a ram’s horn), the tallit (prayer shawl), the kittel (white robe), and the aravah (willow branch). These symbols are often used to convey themes of repentance, humility, and spiritual renewal during the Day of Atonement.
