The phenomenon of Earth's seasons is primarily due to the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to its orbit around the Sun. This was first explained by the ancient Greek astronomer, Eratosthenes, in the 3rd century BCE. He observed that the angle of sunlight hitting the Earth varies throughout the year, leading to the different seasons in each hemisphere.
The concept and understanding of seasons has been known since ancient times. The discovery of seasons is not attributed to a single event or individual, but rather to the observation of patterns in changes of weather and the position of the Earth relative to the sun throughout the year.
No, the Moon's orbit does not cause seasons on Earth. Seasons are primarily caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. This tilt creates varying angles of sunlight throughout the year, resulting in different seasons.
Mars has seasons similar to Earth due to its axial tilt and orbital path around the Sun. These seasons are more extreme than Earth's due to Mars' elliptical orbit. Additionally, Saturn experiences seasons due to its tilt and orbital path, but these are much longer in duration compared to Earth's.
The Earth's seasons are not caused by variations in the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Instead, they are a result of the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun.
Saturn's seasons are named after the spacecraft missions that discovered them: Cassini for winter and Voyager for spring. Saturn experiences seasonal changes due to its axial tilt of 26.73 degrees, similar to Earth's 23.5 degree tilt.
the two seasons on earth that do not have seasons are spring and fall
The Earth's seasons changes by the tilt of the Earth.

The Earth's seasons are a result of the way the Earth is titled on an axis and its elliptical orbit around the sun. The Earth is the only planet to have seasons.

the most famous piece of music called "the seasons" (i imagine there are many) was composed by Vivaldi.
No. Earth's seasons are a product of Earth's revolution around the sun.
The four seasons of the Earth are to do with the rotation of the Earth, and since that is never ending, so are the Seasons which is why they occur regularly. Hope i helped :)
