The seasons are caused by the axial tilt of the earth with respect to the sun.

As the earth rotates around the sun, the southern or the northern hemisphere will get either more sun and less darkness (thus warmer), or more darkness and less sun (thus colder)

The moon's influence on this would be negligible.

However, the tides are from both the sun and moon's gravity.

When the sun is directly overhead the tides should be highest (summer). But, since there is an opposing aspect of the tides, the tides are also highest when the sun is furthest from being overhead (winter).

How does the moon effect the earths seasons?

The moon does not directly affect Earth's seasons; rather, it is the tilt of Earth's axis that causes the change in seasons. The moon's gravitational pull does play a role in creating tides on Earth, but this does not impact the changing of the seasons.

How the moon revolves around the sun causing the seasons?

Nothing the moon does, doesn't do, or appears to do has any effect on the earth's seasons. We would have all of the same seasons and the same seasonal experiences even if there were no moon at all.


What is the importance of knowing the seasons in our place?

Light of day does not effect earths high and low tides, the moon does. The Moon is in the gravitational pull of earths orbit. When the earth turns it pulls the moon slowly. But the moon does get ahead of the earth at some points causing high tide, but when the moon lags behind the earths pull it is low tide.


What would be the effect on earth if the planets axis were not tilted?

There would be no four seasons if the earths axis was not tilted.
