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

It creates our periods of night and day as the Sun's light travels across the Earth's surface.


What is autumn winter spring summer?

They are the angle of light striking your particular part of the Earth. This causes seasons.


Why do you have seasons and what causes them?

Seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight at different times of the year, leading to changes in temperature and weather patterns. As the Earth moves around the sun, these variations in sunlight create the different seasons we experience.


Are the seasons caused by tilt in the earth s axis?

its because of the timeing and day light of the seasons


Does the earths revolution cause the seasons?

The revolution of the Earth does not cause changes in the seasons. The TILT of the Earth does. When an area tilts away from the sun, light strikes the earth at a shallow angle, delivering less heat and light. As it tilts towards the sun, light is striking at a more direct angle, delivering more heat and light.


What do the 4 seasons and earth have in common?

It will always have the biggest influence on seasonal weather and how much light is allowed to penetrate to the surface. However, the tilt of the Earth is the main cause for seasons.


What is the difference between the earth's rotation and the earths revolution. What causes the earth to have seasons. What causes the earth to have days and nights?

Those are three different questions; you would be better of asking them as three different questions on this site. The difference between rotation and revolution is that "rotation" refers to a movement of an object around its own axis; while "revolution" refers to a movement around an external object or axis - in this case, around the Sun.


What is the reflected motion that the earth rotation causes?

The Earth's rotation causes the apparent motion of celestial bodies in the sky. This motion is due to the changing position of the observer on the rotating Earth, making stars and other celestial objects appear to rise and set each day. It also causes the apparent movement of the Sun across the sky, creating day and night cycles.


What does the sun have to do with the earth having seasons?

it probably has something to do with summer as in summer it is sunny and you get light from the sun so the sun brings light and warmth to earth in summer and in other seasons its probably more or less the same in winter the sun is hidden by clouds!!


How do the planets relate to seasons?

Planets themselves have no relation to our seasons, if that is what you are asking. Seasons are created due to the tilt of our axis. On one side of the Sun, the southern hemisphere gets more light per day than the north, and vice versa on the other side. This creates winter and summer, with fall and spring in between


What is one of the main causes of the seasons?

the earth is on an axis of about 23 degrees. So some times the northern hemisphere is getting more direct light. When it rotates half way around the sun the southern hemisphere is getting more direct sunlight. Look for a diagram on google images


What causes the earth to have periods of light and darkness?

The rotation. When the earth rotates, sides of it don't see the sun. Which are like sunsets and sunrises. The earth is rotating which takes away light and gives light.
