WIth enough of an eliptical orbit, it could be argued the extra variable distance would be able to make a significant difference in temperature, then the axial tilt is the 4 seasons, and the distance determines if the 4 are its cold, warm, or hot. It would have shorter Hot seansons though due to the orbit, but if the orbit itself is massive (presumably around a massive star), the difference can be mitigated. | |
