The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth relative to the sun. The earths axis is tilted and not perfectly parallel with the sun's axis. This means that as the earth circles the sun half the planet will be closer to the sun then the other. When half is closer that is summer. (closer = hotter). When it is farthest away that is winter (father = colder). Spring and fall are the transition times in between. When the tilt is moving away from the sun it is getting farther and farther away and getting colder...(fall). When it gets closer then it gets warmer leading to spring.

Food for thought....when its summer in the USA..its winter in Australia
