The main reason for the seasons on earth is because you don't want a cold or hot season forever! The season change because the earth's atmosphere. The earth rotates and the season changes.

Two Reasons for Seasons: - Earth is tilted on its axis (23.5 degrees) - Earth rotates on this axis, but orbits in a regular plane around the Sun. Depending on the position of the Earth in its orbit, one hemisphere (northern or southern) may be angled toward the Sun, providing Summer, or angled away from the Sun, which is winter.
If the earth's axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, the earth would still have winter and summer as the two main seasons. The two seasons would beÊoccurringÊdaily since the earth would still be rotating but on a perpendicular plane to its orbit.Ê
The tilt of the earth's axis, and because of the earth's orbit.
The earth is on a 23.5 degree tilt so as it journeys around the sun, the sun's rays hit different parts of Earth, thus creating the seasons. It is also true that if the sun's rays are hitting the northern hemisphere, creating summer, the southern hemisphere will have the opposite season, winter. It is the same for spring and fall.

The tilt of the earth.
Earth's tilt and Earth's rotation
Seasons
We have seasons, because the earth rotates around the sun, and where we are in the solar system effects what season we're in.
the reason for the seasons is the tilt of Earth's axis
the Earth rotates on an axis, that axis is tilted with respect to the axis of Earth's orbit, and Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical.
Two Reasons for Seasons: - Earth is tilted on its axis (23.5 degrees) - Earth rotates on this axis, but orbits in a regular plane around the Sun. Depending on the position of the Earth in its orbit, one hemisphere (northern or southern) may be angled toward the Sun, providing Summer, or angled away from the Sun, which is winter.
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.
If the earth's axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, the earth would still have winter and summer as the two main seasons. The two seasons would beÊoccurringÊdaily since the earth would still be rotating but on a perpendicular plane to its orbit.Ê
the two seasons on earth that do not have seasons are spring and fall
