The earth's position affects seasons because the earth's axis of rotation is tilted about 23 and a quarter degrees to the plane of its yearly orbit around the sun. As the year progresses, the poles becomes closer and further from the sun. The summer solstice in the northern hemisphere occurs when the north pole is closest to the sun.
The consequence of this tilting is that each hemisphere is warmed and cooled on an annual basis. These are the seasons, spring, summer, fall, and winter.
