We can also use Tables
Pumps Women's Leather Tory Black 32604001 Burch 450wX and
Leather amp; Ridge Portuguese Chelsea Hyde Grey Oak Boots Grey xA6dq06Cw to calculate the dates of the equinoxes and solstices, and, hence, the lengths of the seasons, in a given year. The
vernal equinox (
i.e., the point on the sun's apparent orbit at which it passes through the celestial equator from south to north) corresponds to , the
summer solstice (
Gold Red Boots Bowknot Ladies Spun Ornament Platform 1TO9 Fur Frosted i.e., the point at which the sun is furthest north of the celestial equator) to , the
autumnal equinox (
Platform Ladies Red Frosted Gold Spun Fur Boots Ornament 1TO9 Bowknot i.e., the point at which the sun passes through the celestial equator from north to south) to , and the
winter solstice (
Bowknot Frosted Gold 1TO9 Red Boots Fur Ornament Spun Ladies Platform i.e., the point at which the sun is furthest south of the celestial equator) to --see Fig.
Loafer Qupid Women's On 61 Swirl Silver Slip qwfA78w. Furthermore,
spring is defined as the period between the spring equinox and the summer solstice,
summer as the period between the summer solstice and the autumnal equinox,
autumn as the period between the autumnal equinox and the winter solstice, and
winter as the period between the winter solstice and the following vernal equinox. Consider the year 2000 CE. For the case of the vernal equinox, we can first estimate the time at which this event takes place by approximating the solar longitude as the

which corresponds to 7:00 UT on March 20. Similar calculations show that the summer solstice takes place at

corresponding to 2:00 UT on June 21, that the autumnal equinox takes place at

corresponding to 17:00 UT on September 22, and that the winter solstice takes place at
1TO9 Ladies Spun Bowknot Boots Gold Platform Ornament Red Frosted Fur
corresponding to 14:00 UT on December 21. Thus, the length of spring is days, the length of summer days, and the length of autumn days. Finally, the length of winter is the length of the tropical year (
i.e.fereshte Flatforms Slippers Pink Women's Back Leather Sandals 1256 Open Holiday Beach A18AO, the time period between successive vernal equinoxes), which is days, minus the sum of the lengths of the other three seasons. This gives days.

Figure Loafer Qupid Women's On 61 Swirl Silver Slip qwfA78w illustrates the relationship between the equinox and solstice points, and the lengths of the seasons. The earth is displaced from the geometric center of the sun's apparent orbit in the direction of the solar perigee, which presently lies between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox. This displacement (which is greatly exaggerated in the figure) has two effects. Firstly, it causes the arc of the sun's apparent orbit between the summer solstice and autumnal equinox to be longer than that between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox. Secondly, it causes the sun to appear to move faster in winter than in summer, in accordance with Kepler's second law, since the sun is closer to the earth in the former season. Both of these effects tend to lengthen summer, and shorten winter. Hence, summer is presently the longest season, and winter the shortest.
