why are there only 4 seasons?

Answer 1

Because the fifth guy was Frankie Valli.

Frankie Valli (born[1] in the Italian First Ward of Newark, New Jersey as Francis Stephen Castelluccio) is best known as lead singer of The Four Seasons, one of the biggest music acts of the 1960s, which continued from then to the 1970s disco scene to the present day.

Valli scored over 25 Top-40 hits with The Four Seasons, a handful of Top-40 hits dubbed as a solo act in the late 1960s, one dubbed as The Wonder Who? in 1965, and again in the mid to late 1970s. His best known "solo" single is Can't Take My Eyes Off You. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with The Four Seasons in 1990.

Valli started his singing career in 1952. He cut his first single in 1953 as "Frankie Valley," a name he adopted from Jean Valley, his favorite female singer. In the mid-1950s he split up with the Travellers and joined The Variety Trio, which consisted of Tommy DeVito, twin brother Nick, and Hank Majewski. They redubbed themselves the Variatones, and later, "The Four Lovers" and had a top 40 hit with "Apple of My Eye" in 1956. After a few more name changes, the group was renamed "The Four Seasons" in 1960. About the same time, Valli Italianized his name to its current form. Nick DeVito and Majewski left the group in 1960 or 1961 and were replaced by Bob Gaudio and Nick Massi. As the lead singer of the Four Seasons, he had a string of hits beginning with a #1 hit "Sherry" in 1962. Valli has been the lead singer from then until the present time, occasionally releasing singles under his own name, notably the theme song from the film version of Grease, written by Barry Gibb, which was a #1 hit.

Valli is best remembered for his falsetto vocals, once prompting comedian Jackie Mason, referring to Walk Like A Man, to exclaim, "Sing like a man, Frankie!" Another singer who has been compared with Valli is Lou Christie.

He has made several appearances on the hit series The Sopranos as New York mob captain Rusty Millio. Ironically, Valli himself was referenced earlier in the series. In the Season Four episode, "Christopher," the owner of a Native American casino offers Tony Soprano his help in getting a local Indian organization to drop its planned anti-Columbus Day demonstration. In exchange, Tony is asked to get Frankie Valli to agree to perform at the casino.

John Lloyd Young won the 2006 Tony Award for Best Leading Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of Valli in the musical Jersey Boys. After the great success of the musical on Broadway, it has been reported that Valli is excited at the prospects for bringing the show to Las Vegas

But seriously,

A season is one of the major divisions of the year, generally based on yearly periodic changes in weather.

In temperate and polar regions generally four seasons are recognized: spring, summer, autumn (fall), and winter.

In some tropical and subtropical regions it is more common to speak of the rainy (or wet, or monsoon) season versus the dry season, as the amount of precipitation may vary more dramatically than the average temperature.

In other tropical areas a three-way division into hot, rainy and cool season is used. In some parts of the world, special "seasons" are loosely defined based upon important events such as a hurricane season, tornado season, wildfire season or a sport season

Answer 2

The idea of there being four seasons is nothing more than a social convention, like the day starting at midnight. Most early cultures recognized only two seasons, the Growing Season, or Summer, which ran from spring planting to the final storage of supplies to wait out the cold months until the next planting, and the Fallow season, or Winter, when there was nothing much to save wait it out.

Answer 3

The reason why we only have four seasons is because our distance from the sun. If we were another planet the distance would be either greater or shorter. Resulting in a longer or shorter season, and also in that case we maybe would had fewer seasons or more seasons based upon the planet's conditions along with the weather.

Answer 4

The four seasons of the year were defined by our ancestors and deal with the times for planting, growth, harvesting and resting of the crops and soil. Rotation of the Earth only has to do with light, temperature and weather not the common definition of the four seasons. Hence, in the southern hemisphere Winter is warm.

Answer 5

4 seasons are such because humans defined them as such. Like 4 directions, north, south, east, west. When it doesn't serve us much purpose, we include northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest. If more info is needed, we use terms like 6 degrees north etc. I'm very sure there are sub-seasons. It's just that humans do not define them.

I live in a tropical country. We do not have seasons. Well, maybe just the monsoon and the drought.

Answer 6

There aren't. The world turns, the days change. Heat beats down upon those unlucky enough to find their work in the sweltering heat. Eventually, days are long... then slowly, nights too are so, but colder. Long days shorten, then snow falls and noses emerge pink from makeshift cave made of scarves and hoods. We labeled them seasons so we could better be able to deal with them universally.

The planet spins, and humans find ways to deal with it, but the earth is what it is, and nature does what it does.

Answer 7

How many seasons you have where you live depends on how far you are from the equator and also, the tilt or rotation of the earth at various times of the year.

Answer 8

it has to do with the way the sun and the earth are orientated. . The tilt of the earth makes summer or winter in different hemispheres. Winter in the north and summer in thesouth or vice wersa and the other 2 seasons result from the change from either winter to summer or summer to winter

Answer 9

Because, God, created the earth to rotate around the sun. Then man, who likes to categorize everything man named created the seasons. Hot, Warm, Cold and Cool.

Answer 10

The seasons are the results of the tilt of the earth's axis.
