I think we’re missing a major flaw in this, it assumes the episode takes place on the date it aired. The first episode aired October during the “Summer Sun Celebration” which assuming it Summer Solstice, is the opposite date. What about “It Isn’t the Mane Thing About You”, which takes place over months? Or episodes that air at different dates in other countries? And don’t get started about leaks or early releases.
 
It’s just a joke.

Season 1 also had eight episodes between the start of Summer and start of Spring– none of which featured any snow– then one episode before the start of Autumn. It was then sixteen episodes until a festival which almost had to have taken place in the middle of Autumn, six episodes before an expressly mid-Winter holiday– again, with no snow leading up to it– and five before an early Spring holiday.
 
This show ain’t give a hoot ’bout chronological order.

But the first episode, which premiered on a November, took place during the Summer Sun Celebration.
 
Doesn’t that disprove premier dates corresponding with in-series dates?

we have not had mentioned any other stellar objects in the star system the series is in

I don’t recall them mentioning any other planets, but there are Ponies with “Comet” in their names, and Applejack’s parents are still out there in orbit somewhere.
Whatever their deal is, it’s still a magic-saturated version of this Earth rather than one in some distant star system, because they have many of the same Northern Hemisphere constellations with the stars in the same positions.
There is a subtle reference to other worlds in the show, actually. In the opening sequence, right next to Celestia, there is a window showing what looks like whatever planet Equestria is located on, and above it is another ringed planet with a small moon.

That’s an interesting theory- but I like it a lot, actually. I’ve always assumed that, because the whole series seems to be set in something akin to the Heroic Age of Greece, that it functioned on the Ptolmaic model. That is to say, the sun orbits the earth, like everything else in the solar system. This can function according to most of physics; it’d just be really strange. Basically, you’d have to either have a much smaller and closer sun, or gravity would have to work a little bit differently- which the show visually demonstrates to be the case. Alternately- we have not had mentioned any other stellar objects in the star system the series is in.

I suppose I should clarify that axial tilt isn’t responsible for the seasons in Equestria; they most definitely are what causes seasons IRL, combined with our elliptical orbit. It’s unclear whether Equestria’s Earth even orbits anything at all.
 
My headcanon is that their Earth is just like any other– aside from being saturated with magic, of course– and that the Sun and Moon in Equestria are just avatars or representations of the real things, moved around on the inside of a nationwide “force field” of some kind that serves to protect Equestria from the conditions of the outside world by keeping everything artificially stable; sort of like building a dome around a football stadium so you can turn the lights on and off whenever you want and control the air temperature regardless of outside conditions. The Windigo are still out there, waiting, outside the field that’s maintained by the Magic Of Friendship.

It’s a valid point; when “day” and “night” are optional features and orbital mechanics require a skill check by the bosses, there’s no real reason to stick with a 364.2425 day year, or even a 24 hour day. We already know that seasons have nothing to do with the planet’s axial tilt.

Nice, next we shall try to find which tuesday was the day Bison visited Chun Li village.
