No, a planet without a moon would not have extreme tides. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull between a planet and its moon. Without a moon, there would be no significant tidal forces acting on the planet.
If you live in the northern hemisphere, summertime is when the earth is tilting closer to the sun. Winter is when the earth is tilting farther away. It the opposite if you're living in the southern hemisphere.
equatorial region
Distance from Earth varies from 36 million miles (nearest planet after Venus) to over 250 million miles. Proportionately, this six-fold distance variation is the greatest of any planet.
If Earth had a tilt of 15 degrees we would experience much less variation in weather during the different seasons.
Planets experience seasonal variation due to the axial tilt. Mars is most like ours and has seasons.
VENUS
Seasonal variation is associated with axial tilt. Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter have very slight inclination, thus nearly erasing any seasonal variation. Mercury also lacks an atmosphere, so it wouldn't experience "seasons" even if it possessed tilt.
No, it is not.
The axial tilt of Jupiter is relatively small: only 3.13°. As a result this planet does not experience significant seasonal changes, in contrast to Earth and Mars for example.

Because it is the only planet with which we have first hand experience.
The seasons only change in temperate zones because of the Earth's revolution around the sun.
