Gravity; which is the natural force of attraction exhibited by any object with mass.

The more mass an object has, the more gravitational pull it possesses.

Since the sun has more mass than the earth; it has more gravitational pull, and thus; the earth rotates around the sun, rather than the sun rotating around the earth.

All planets in our solar system; having less mass than the sun, orbit around it. However; the planets, exhibiting their own gravitational pull, also cause the sun to rotate in small circles within the center of the solar system.

Nothing does.Simply because the moon does not orbit the sun.The moon orbits Earth, not the sun. And Earth orbits the sun.Gravity is what causes planets and moons to orbit.

What causes the cycle of seasons in earth?

The tilt of the Earth's axis in relation to the plane of its orbit.


Is it true seasons are a result of earth's tilted orbit?

No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.


What causes the seasonal changes in day length and temperature?

The Earth's yearly orbit round the Sun and the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis as compared to the plane of the orbit.
