The seasons are defined as spring (March, April, May), summer (June, July, August), autumn (September, October, November) and winter (December, January, February). The astronomical spring begins on 20 March 2017 and ends on 20 June 2017. The astronomical calendar determines the seasons due to the 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth's rotational axis in relation to its orbit around the sun. Both equinoxes and solstices are related to the Earth's orbit around the sun.

Two methods are most commonly used to define the dates of the seasons: the astronomical definition and the meteorological definition. Astronomical terms & definitions. Astronomical Seasons
