What are the main reasons for the seasons on earth?

The main reason for the seasons on Earth is the tilt of the planet's axis relative to its orbit around the sun. As Earth orbits the sun, different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to the changing seasons. This tilt causes the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth to vary, resulting in differences in temperature and daylight hours.
