How do the tilt of Earth's axis and Earth's movements around the sun cause seasons?

The tilt always points the same way (towards the north star). In summer the pole is pointed toward the sun, and in winter its pointed away. This changes the amount of direct sunlight a portion of the Earth will receive. The more direct sunlight, the warmer the weather. So when a hemisphere of Earth is tilted toward the sun, it is summer. Away, and it is winter.

Glacier cycles.
How does the til of earths axis cause the seasons?
The tilt controls the angle of incidence of sunlight AND the duration of daylight hours.
What are the two factors that cause the earth's seasons?
rotation of earth -earth is at a tilt so sometimes some parts get more sun then others rotation around the sun -earth will be at different distances from the sun as it rotates around

when the earth turns it doesnt only cause day and night but for example: if were you live is facing away from the sun then its most likey the season of winter

How does the earths orbit around the sun cause the seasons?
Actually, it doesn't. The TILT of the Earth on it axis causes seasonal changes.
How does earths movements cause day and night?
Because it tilts on its axis

What two things cause the seasons to change on earth?
There are two things that cause it which are the earths orbit and thetilt of the earths axis.
The earths rotation is direct cause of?
seasonsRotation around the sun gives the seasons because the earth is tilted. Rotation about earth's axis give day and night.
Why isn't the change in earths distance from the sun enough to cause thr seasons?
its to far away
How do the tilt of earths axis and earths movements around the sun cause season?
Seasons are caused as the Earth, tilted on it’s axis, travels in a loop around the sun each year. For example, summer happens in the hemisphere tilted towards the sun, winter happens in the hemisphere tilted away from the sun. The poles stay cool because they are never in a direct path of sun light.(those are just examples they’re not really part of the answer.)
