The FireTtriangle. Most people have heard of the fire triangle: heat, fuel, and oxidizer. When these three components come together in the proper proportions, a fireâthe rapid chemical reaction of fuel with oxygen, resulting in the release of heat and light energyâis bound to occur.
Answer by Hank W. The average length of the northern hemisphere summer, calculated as the average time from the June solstice until the September equinox, is about 93 days and 15Â½ hours. The average length of the southern hemisphere summer, calculated as the average time from the December solstice until the March equinox, is about 89 days.
In the astronomical calendar, summer begins on the June equinox â the point at which the Northern Hemisphere is tilted closest to the sun and the days are at their longest during the year. The summer solstice falls on June 21 this year, but the date varies from year to year, falling as early as June 20 or as late as 22 June. Since summer (and other seasons) can begin and end on different days each year on the astronomical calendar, it can be hard to compare seasons from year to year in this way. To standardize the length and start of the seasons, in meteorology, the 12 months of the year have been split up into four, 3-month periods. Therefore, in the meteorological calendar, summer includes the months of June, July and August - always starting on 1 June and ending on 31 August.
