Why do seasons occur in the northern and southern hemisphere?

Both hemispheres are the two halves of Earth. At different times each year, they are tilted towards the sun or tilted away from the sun, because of how the Earth rotates on its axis. For example, in July, in the northern hemisphere, it's summer, but in the southern hemisphere, it's winter. The northwern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, and it gets more direct sunlight. The Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, and it gets a lot less direct sunlight.

In short, because of the axial tilt of the earth. In May - July, the northern hemisphere is tilted more towards the sun and gets more sunlight at a more direct angle. The reverse is true for the southern hemisphere. In November - January, the situation is reversed; the southern hemisphere gets more direct sunlight.


How does the sun position in relation to the earth correspond to our seasons?

It's not so much the Sun that changes; rather, Earth's axis is tilted (with respect to a perpendicular to Earth's plane of orbit). As a result, when Earth is on one side of the Sun, the northern hemisphere gets more sunlight; when Earth is on the other side of the Sun, it is the southern hemisphere that gets more sunlight.
