In winter, the part of Earth is not facing the Sun so it makes that season we have in North America cold. In summer, that part of Earth is facing the Sun which makes it hot. Spring and Fall are seasons that nearly faces all the Sun.

Which of these does not contribute to changing seasons angle of incidence of solar radiation tilt of the earth on its axis distance between the earth and sun or revolution of the earth around the sun?

The distance of the Earth from the sun does not contribute to the changing seasons. Although this distance does change (since the Earth's orbit is elliptical, not perfectly circular) the amount of the change is not great enough to affect the seasons. It is the angle of incidence of solar radiation, which in turn is affected by the axial tilt of the Earth and its revolution around the sun, which creates the changing seasons.


How does the motion of the sun throughout the year affect the amount of energy we receive from the sun How does this affect our season?

When the earth goes around the sun, the earth also turns. We have 4 seasons, so, when the earth goes 1 quarter of the sun, that is 1 season. Depending on what season it is and where you are, the earth turns away from the sun in fall and winter. So, it is colder. In spring and summer, the sun faces the sun. So it is warmer.
