What does Earths' revolution around the sun cause?

The increment of one calendar and solar year per revolution (by definition), the changing pattern of different stars and constellations, and, to an extent, planets visible from the night side of Earth, tidal effects, and tiny gravitational perturbations of the Sun and nearby planets' positions. Very tiny. The Earth's revolution around the Sun does not, by itself, cause the changing seasons. That is a common misconception. The Earth's polar spin axis is not exactly perpendicular to its orbital plane. It is tilted. This accounts for the seasons far more than revolving around the Sun, although neither would work without the other.
