The Earth orbits around the Sun. The orbit is elliptical - all orbits are - but the "eccentricity" of the orbit is pretty small. That means, it's only a little different from a circle. The path of the Earth around the Sun doesn't really contribute to the seasons.
The Earth spins like a gyroscope, and like a gyro, it is VERY stable. But the gyro is tilted, and it STAYS tilted. The "tilt angle" isn't great; it is approximately 23.5 degrees. It is this tilt, which we call "axial tilt", that causes the seasons.
Nothing happens to the Earth's axis between seasons, although it may get altered over millions of years. The moon tends to make the axis stable. The seasons are the result of Earths tilt, which remains the same as it rotates around the sun , pointing either the northern hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere directly toward the sun.
The earth orbits the sun in ellipses in which some of the earth are further away from the sunst one point and seeing as how it is on a constant axis, some parts of the earth are colder than others at different points hence winter and summer however I cannot answer the "various seasons" part because it really depends where you are on the earths surfae
Earth's orbit has nothing to do with seasons. The Earth's axis is tilted.
When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it is Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and Winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
When the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it is Winter in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer in the Northern Hemispere.
Direct rays of sunlight are perpendicular the the Earth's rotational axis at the moments of the equinoxes.

The sun appears to trek across the sky as the day progresses from sunrise to sunset. Also, the points along the horizon at which the sun rises and sets relative to a particular observation point shift a little north each day from the December solstice until the June solstice and shift a little south each day through the other half of the year.
It would gradually move from a South Westerly position when setting to more of a westerly position as the days get longer and summer is approached. It will also remain in the sky for longer and arc higher and higher in the sky until the summer solstice in June.
From the viewpoint of the Earth, all the constellations 'revolve' around Polaris (the North star. As the Earth orbits the sun, its relative position to the constellations changes - and they appear to move across the night-sky.
The Sun's path in the sky will appear to change as a year passes. This path resembles a figure eight. The path is curved due to Earth's tilted axis. The path is long because the Earth makes an oblong orbit around the Sun. The path is technically called a Analemma. The movement of the sun isn't what causes the change of seasons on earth. It is the movement of the earth around the sun and the fact that the axis of rotation of the earth is not perpendicular to the plane of solar rotation that gives rise to the changes we see as the seasons.
The stars in the sky don't change, just our position under them.
what two ways does the suns position change in the sky
the seasons.

The motions of the earth in its orbit of the Sun are kind of like a wobbling spinning top. This causes the Sun's noon position to appear to change over the seasons.
The earth tilts more to one side and at night you can tell because every 3 seasons or so the constellations move to a different place.

Yes, you can see it anywhere in the world from Earth. As long as its night but, it might be in a different position in the sky during the different seasons.
