Are seasons the same as solar terms?

It's different.

According to Baidu Encyclopedia, solar terms should be an administrative order issued by the government according to the weather changes of each solar term, so as to mobilize and encourage farmers to carry out spring ploughing, spring sowing, summer sowing management, autumn harvest and winter storage in an orderly manner to ensure a bumper harvest of grain. According to the climate change all the year round and its influence on crop growth, people divide each month into two solar terms, from the rain in beginning of spring in the first month to the severe cold and slight cold in the twelfth month. So seasons and solar terms are different.

Seasonal season is a Chinese word, pronounced Shí l ō ng, which means "Jude Moon season". This is an ancient law of farming according to seasons. From the Book of Rites and the Moon Order. Solar term is a special festival in the trunk and branch calendar that expresses the change of natural rhythm and establishes "December construction" (monthly order).
