The seasons are just one factor that provides proof that the earth revolves around the sun. The seasons are caused because the earth's axis (or its central revolution point) is tilted 23.5 degrees from a line drawn perpendicular to the plane of the earth's orbit. As the earth completes its yearly cycle around the sun, there are times when the north pole is either tilted towards the sun (during what we call summer in the northern hemisphere), or tilted away from the sun (during winter in the northern hemisphere). At other times, i.e. spring and fall, the axis is generally parallel to the incoming sun's rays.
For a more complete explanation, I've referred to The Gale Encyclopedia of Science, which explains the seasons like this:
"During summer, two effects contribute to produce warmer weather. First, the sun's rays fall more directly on Earth's surface and this results in a stronger heating effect. The second reason for the seasonal temperature differences results from the differences in the amount of daylight hours versus nighttime hours. The sun's rays warm Earth during daylight hours and Earth cools at night by re-radiating heat back into space. This is the major reason for the warmer days of summer and cooler days of winter. The orientation of Earth's axis during summer results in longer periods of daylight and shorter periods of darkness at this time of year. At the mid-northerly latitudes summer days have about 16 hours of warming daylight and only eight hours of cooling nights. During mid-winter the pattern is reversed."
As you can see, Earth's orbit around the sun, and the changing orientation of Earth's axis, are the reason why seasons exist.
I hope this helps! You can access databases like Gale Virtual Reference Library, where I found this answer, through your local library. Many library web sites even have a link where you can chat online with a librarian 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night. Earth's revolution around the sun causes the seasons.
Due to the sun's gravity, the planets in our solar system revolve around the sun. This revolution around the sun determines our seasons.
It takes 365 solar days for the Earth to make a revolution around the sun. The distance of the Earth from the sun along with it's access are what cause the change in seasons. The speed of the orbit is he speed is 108,000 km/h.
earth moves in two ways rotation: moving about its own axis (causes day and night) revolution: orbiting around the sun (causes seasons)
Those are three different questions; you would be better of asking them as three different questions on this site. The difference between rotation and revolution is that "rotation" refers to a movement of an object around its own axis; while "revolution" refers to a movement around an external object or axis - in this case, around the Sun.
becouse it happens in a patterns
No. Earth's seasons are a product of Earth's revolution around the sun.
its seasons
Seasons
It relates because after every orbit the seasons change
the earth's tilt causes the four seasons.

Earths tilted axis and its revolution around the sun
yes, but the tilt of its axis also helps the Earth experience the seasons.
More properly referred to as its orbit. seasons
The seasons, because of the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Seasons result from the yearly revolution of the Earth around the sun and the tilt of the earth's axis relative to the plane of revolution. In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to go into hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant.
