Which month is summer season?
Different places have different definitions for when summer begins and ends. I go by the rule that summer begins at the moment of the summer solstice and ends at the moment of the autumnal equinox. In the northern hemisphere the date of the summer solstice ranges from June 19 to June 23, and the date of the autumnal equinox ranges from September 21 to September 24. In the southern hemisphere the date of the summer solstice ranges from December 20 to December 23, and the date of the autumnal equinox ranges from March 19 to March 22.
Why sun near to the earth in winter?
no actually its because of the earths 23.5 degree tilt and so one half of the earth( northern hemisphere, southern hemisphere) is either facing away or toward the earth. But in spring and fall neither of the hemispheres are facing the sun. so basically the distance of the sun does not matter for temature because the earths orbit is not eliptical enough to make a difference in tempature.
What is the difference between summer solstice and equinox?
The solstice is day of the year with the longest period of light (the summer solstice) or the longest period of night (the winter solstice).
