The earth tilted on its axis as it is spinning and when it orbits the sun one pole is nearer the sun at one time and further away half a year later creating summer then winter, in between are spring and autumn. Whereas the opposite would be in effect for the other pole being closet to the sun when the opposite is furthest away at that point in the year. This concept can be transfered to different parts of the world.

∙ 11y agoThe Earth is sitting on an axis that tilts 23.5 degrees. When the Earth rotates, parts of the axis are tilting towards or away from the sun. The Earth does not tilt, it rotates upon its axis and rotates around the sun. If it is Summer in the northern hemisphere, that means the Earth has made its way to a point in it's orbit where the axis is tilting towards the sun. If it is winter in the northern hemisphere, that means the Earth has reached a point in its orbit where the axis is tilting away.
It all has to do with rotation, not the Earth getting closer or farther from the sun.

Which of the following is the cause for the difference seasons on earth?
the way earth has a tilted axis
which of the following is the cause for the different seasons on earth?

Where do the seasons not change?
Around the equator there is no noticeable difference to the seasons, compared to what is experienced by parts of Earth that are much further from the equator. At the poles, can you detect a difference?
What evidence is there that distance from the sun is not a cause of the seasons?
It is the tilting of the Earth on its axis that causes the seasons, not the distance from the Sun.
Does the distance from the sun cause earth's seasons?
The distance from the Earth to the Sun is not a major component of the causes of the seasons.A more important factor is the inclination of the axis.See the answer to "What causes the Earth's seasons?"The Earth is far enough from the Sun that a minor change in it's distance would not cause a significant change in the tempature.

Does the Moon's orbit cause seasons?
No, the rotation of the Earth around the Sun combined with the tilt of the Earth cause seasons.
What does Earth's tilt on its own axis cause?
The change in seasons
What DOES NOT cause the earth 's seasons?
earth distance from the sun
When the earth orbits the sun what does it cause to have?
seasons
What is the most important cause of earths seasons?
The actual most important cause of Earth's seasons is it's axis.
What does the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth cause on earth?
It causes the seasons.
Does the Earth's tilt cause the wet and dry seasons experienced in the tropics?
The Earth's tilt does not really cause the wet and dry seasons that are experienced in the tropics. The tilt however can effect the temperature effects of the seasons.
