The most important cause of the seasons being what they are is the tilt of the Earth's axis. There is a slight effect from the changes in the distance from the Sun (about a 3% difference between the minimum and maximum). We are closest to the Sun during winter in the Northern Hemisphere, and farthest in the summer, so the summers and winters in the North are slightly milder than they otherwise would be.

The main factor is the tilt of the Earth's axis. If distance from the Sun were the main factor, then the seasons would not be reversed as they are for the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
The tilt of Earth's rotation axis creates the different seasons by causing the amount of sunlight received at a given location to vary throughout the year. This tilt also affects climate patterns and the distribution of temperatures on Earth's surface, impacting weather systems and ecosystems.
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.
rotation of earth -earth is at a tilt so sometimes some parts get more sun then others rotation around the sun -earth will be at different distances from the sun as it rotates around
the axis is a imaginary line that cuts trough the earth it points southwest and northeast
The same way it affects most of earth. The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis relative to the plane of its orbit.

I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with gravity
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation

the tilt of earth affects the sun's rays because if it is tilted the shaded part will not get the sun's rays but the other side will.
