How does the sun position in relation to the earth correspond to our seasons?

It's not so much the Sun that changes; rather, Earth's axis is tilted (with respect to a perpendicular to Earth's plane of orbit). As a result, when Earth is on one side of the Sun, the northern hemisphere gets more sunlight; when Earth is on the other side of the Sun, it is the Southern Hemisphere that gets more sunlight.

What is the position of the moon when its full in relation to the moon and the sun?
It is between the Sun and the Earth
What causes the stars in the sky to appear to be moving?
The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.
Why does the position of stars seem to change as seasons change?
The earth is rotating around the sun. Therefore the position of other stars (although millions of light years away) are in different orientation to that of the earth.
Where is the position of the earth sun in January if the earth rotated anti clockwise?
The Earth normally rotates anticlockwise as seen from the north. If you mean 'if the Earth rotates the opposite way', then its position in January (relative to the Sun) could be the same. The four seasons would also be roughly the same.
Does Neptune have seasons or not?
Yes. As with Earth, Neptune has four seasons, however unlike Earth where seasons last for a few months, seasons on Neptune last for decades.
Why will Maryland have no seasons if the earth was not tilted?
Maryland would have no seasons if the Earth were not tilted because the hemispheres would always be in the same place in relation to the sun.
Are seasons caused by sunspots?
No. Seasons are caused by Earth's tilt and position towards the Sun.
Describe earth's position in relation to the sun at perihelion?
in relation to earth the sun is in the center of our solar system and we revolve around the sun
What is the position of the earth if it undergo four seasons?
so we can live on earth. and live with changes.
Can you still have seasons if there is no moon?
Yes, the seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth and it's position around the sun.
What cause seasonal weather pattenrs?
The earth revolves around the sun. The earth's position in relation to the sun creates the seasons. The jet stream pattern ultimately results in creating the patterns characteristic of each season in conjuction with the elliptical positioning.
How do seasons occur with regard of the rotation of the earth?
It is due to the position of the Warth
How the placement of the sun's light on the earth causes seasons?
we get seasons because the earth is tilted on it s axis in relation to the sun thus as it goes around the sun the angle at which the light strikes the earth changes and the greater the angle the less heat is absorbed by the earth causing the seasons
Is this true or false temperature and precipitation changes in the seasons are influenced by the angle of the sun in relation to the earth?
True
What is the position of the moon when its full in relation to the moon and the sun?
It is between the Sun and the Earth
Placements of constellations during seasons?
The different seasons correspond to different constellations. As Earth orbits the sun during the year, we look out at different parts of space and see different patterns of stars as they come into view.
What causes the stars in the sky to appear to be moving?
The Earth's rotation. The relation between the Earth (or a person on the Earth) and the position of the stars makes it appear that the stars are in a different position as the night progresses.
