If the countries lie between the Tropic of Cancer and Antarctic circle and between the Tropic of Capricorn and Antarctic circle how many seasons occur?
Everywhere on earth, four seasons occur: summer, fall, winter and spring. In the northern hemisphere, summer begins on June 21. In the southern hemisphere, summer begins on December 21. These are the solstice marks. Equinox marks -- March 21 and September 21 -- signal the beginning of the relative seasons.
Is September considered the summer or fall?
It all depends on where you are, the northern hemisphere or the southern one. Generally speaking, in the northern hemisphere, September is considered the fall while in the southern hemisphere, September would be considered spring. However, the equinox marks the changes of seasons and September 22nd or 23rd is the normal date for the equinox. Therefore, prior to the equinox, September is technically summer in the northern hemisphere and changes to fall at the equinox. Conversely, in the southern hemisphere, prior to the equinox, September is considered winter and changes to spring at the equinox.
