I've noticed many of the exoplanets within a few dozen lightyears of us that are considered "inhabitable" have extremely short orbital periods around their sun (>20 days). What effect would that have on the seasons on said planets?

Title :) Curiosity + research.

The reason for the short orbit stars being ubiquitous in the studies is because…. It’s easier to spot a regular body crossing a very large star, the more often it orbits the easier it is to spot the “dimming” pattern.  The reason we are finding more of that sort is because that’s the sort the technique finds most easily (confirmation bias).  Whether there Is life is doubtful because of the radiation from the stars probably bleaches them.  Seasons on them?  tidal locking at such close distances (like our moon) makes seasons unlikely.

Our sun is very small, if someone was in the right plane to see the earth cross the sun if it was being observed from a long way away it would only dim the sun by tiny amounts once every 365 days!  A very difficult pattern to spot but perhaps not impossible.
