Abstract

The main proposal of this text is the recognition of the new seasons of the year for tropical countries. In the textbooks of tropical countries we teaches and learns the seasons as if they were temperate zone countries. As this content was created in the temperate zone, or more precisely in Europe, the processes of colonization of the tropical countries practiced by European countries, only means that this content is repeated even if it is not correct and even if it does not make any practical sense there. Besides the scientific misunderstanding, it is necessary to correct through education the periods and calendars of the four seasons of the countries of the tropical zone. The cultural issues of each locality should be taken into account without the simplification that there is no winter in the tropics or there is summer throughout the all year long. The region is large enough to house different proposals for locations with different climatic characteristics. We should not only use international conventions as if all regions of the planet had identical characteristics. Obviously, just as in the tropical zone things are different from the temperate zone, certainly in the polar zones things as different that two first. With the current speed and flow of information does not justify using an international convention that does not portray the reality of our country.

Highlights

  • The seasons occur across the planet because of the inclination of its longitudinal imaginary axis

  • It is perfectly possible that the Seasons of the Year can not be measured with such precision of dates in all locations of the same latitude because there are certainly different climatic factors at different locations

  • In tropical locality things are different and the dates set by the four astronomical positions of the planet are not always in line with the realities of many places in tropical countries

Summary

Introduction

The seasons occur across the planet because of the inclination of its longitudinal imaginary axis. The four seasons are set by weather patterns and the incidence of the sun throughout the year in the tropical zone, it makes the differences become more subtle, and damaging its conceptualization in this region. Their differences are more bounded outside the tropics, in the temperate zone, in the dominant countries, which have created these rules and imposed through literature for northern colonized. Besides being an almost totally tropical country, Brazil is the only country in the world in whose territory are Equator and one of the Tropics, The Tropic of Capricorn. This differentiated condition in relation to the countries of the temperate zone in itself justifies the adoption of it’s own rules for four seasons, but we only learn and teach the four seasons like countries from temperate zone, even it’s no make sense here
