While the Earth revolves around the Sun, the axis is always pointed in the same direction, so the Sun's light hits different parts of the Earth at different angles. For example, in summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the top of the Earth's axis is pointed towards the Sun, so the light hits the Earth there more directly, causing more heat.
