Using the tilt of the earth why is winter cold?
The Earth tilts at 23.5 degrees and when it is on one side of the Sun the tilt is toward the Sun. If it tilts toward the Sun then it has direct sunlight making it hot. On the other side of the Sun it tilts away causing indirect sunlight making it colder.

What are the effects of slight tilt of earth's axis in the north pole?

How does the axis cause the change seasons?
Because the Earth tilts slightly away from the sun and then back, an North or S hemisphere gets warmer or cooler resulting in the different seasons.

Does the earths revolution cause the seasons?
The revolution of the Earth does not cause changes in the seasons. The TILT of the Earth does. When an area tilts away from the sun, light strikes the earth at a shallow angle, delivering less heat and light. As it tilts towards the sun, light is striking at a more direct angle, delivering more heat and light.
What part of earth tilts toward the sun?
