About 35% of the light that hits the Earth is reflected away immediately, back into space. The remainder of the light hits the Earth. Some of it is absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere, and much of it reaches the surface as light.
Sunlight that is absorbed by the surface heats the Earth.

A hypothesis for how the tilt of earths axis affect the seasons?

For example, in summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the top of the Earth's axis is pointed towards the Sun, so the light hits the Earth there more directly, causing more heat.
