The sun affects the seasons because the earth's axis is tilted 23½º respect to the plane of its orbit around the sun. When the hemisphere where you live is tilted towards the sun the rays fall more directly so it's summer or spring but when it is tilted away the rays fall obliquely and are less strong so it's winter or Autumn.

If the earth's axis were straight up and down, there would be only a minuscule variation in temperature at any given latitude, due only to the fact that the earth's orbit isn't exactly circular. But mostly there wouldn't be any seasons!

How does the motion of the sun throughout the year affect the amount of energy we receive from the sun How does this affect our season?

When the earth goes around the sun, the earth also turns. We have 4 seasons, so, when the earth goes 1 quarter of the sun, that is 1 season. Depending on what season it is and where you are, the earth turns away from the sun in fall and winter. So, it is colder. In spring and summer, the sun faces the sun. So it is warmer.
