The tilt in the earth's axis produces the seasons. Due to the tilt, the sun's rays cover a smaller area of the Northern hemisphere in summer, making the rays more direct and hotter . They are diffused over a large area in winter making for less heat from the sun. If the earth were not tilted the sun's rays would be equally direct at all times.
