How is the apparent motion of celestial bodies through the sky related to seasons?
Let's disregard the five visible planets right now; there isn't any simple pattern as to what seasons they are visible.
For the "fixed" stars, we do not see them move. They DO move, but they are so far away that you wouldn't notice the difference in a human lifetime.
As the Earth orbits the Sun, different constellations are visible from a particular location, during the year.
That's because the Sun appears to move slowly around the sky during the year as we orbit the Sun.
Of course, the Sun then blocks our view of the constellations near it in the sky.
In fact, "circumpolar constellations" can be seen all year because they never go below the horizon. So they can be seen when the Sun isn't in the sky.
An important consequence of our orbiting around the Sun is that any given star rises about four minutes earlier every night.
That's because our 24 hour "solar day" is about 4 minutes longer than the Earth's rotation period.
So, the stars appear to move slowly westwards in the sky during the year.
Obviously, this apparent motion of the stars, relative to the Sun, is related to the seasons.
The patterns of stars visible in the sky in winter are always the same.
There are different patterns of stars visible in the spring, summer, or fall.

Does California go through all 4 seasons?
California typically experiences mild winters and hot summers, so the change in seasons is less pronounced compared to other regions.

Monsoon summer lasts from June through September and is the time of higher humidity and afternoon showers (monsoons.) Fall lasts from October through November and is characterized by humidity leaving Tucson. Winter lasts from December through early February and is characterized by daytime temperatures in the 60s and clear skies. Therefore, Tucson is unique by having five seasons.
The revolution of the earth causes the seasons right?

This is true. The celestial equator ... the line of zero declination ... crosses the horizon due east and due west. However, the ecliptic ... the apparent path of the sun through the stars ... is inclined to the celestial equator, and can hit the horizon anywhere within 23.5 degrees north or south of the east-west directions, depending on the time of day and day of the year.
