The Earth's axis is tilted relative to the plane of its orbit ... by 23.5 degrees. Therefore, when the north pole is pointed toward the sun the northern hemisphere is in spring/summer AND when it points away we are in fall/winter.

Earth's position relative to the Sun continually changes as it travels along its orbit. At certain times, we are closer to the sun,(Winter in the northern hemisphere) and at other times we are further away.

What causes constellations to change position in the night?

Constellations change position in the night sky due to the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth spins, different parts of the sky become visible and then hidden from view, causing constellations to rise in the east and set in the west. Additionally, the Earth's orbit around the Sun causes constellations to appear at different positions throughout the year, leading to seasonal changes in visibility.


What affects seasonal change more Earth's tilted axis or the distance to the sun during Earths orbit?

seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth. since the earth is in a slight eliptical orbit around the sun, when we are closer to the sun in January is where the northern hemisphere will still have winter and further from the sun in July when summer occurs. this is expected to flip in 26,000 years because of earths 3rd axis known as axial precession


How does the eaths rotation cause temperature differences during day and night?

Because the earth didn't have an atmosphere back then That answer is also right but their is another slip to it, the slip to it is that, their is a seasonal change in the atmosphere and if they didn't have a satellite the seasons wouldn't change, so that is also why we have satellites for electricity and the seasons...!


Why are most constellations seasonal?

Most constellations are seasonal because of Earth's orbit around the Sun. As the Earth moves along its orbit, different constellations come into view at different times of the year due to the changing position of stars relative to our planet. This causes certain constellations to be visible only during specific seasons.
