The sun and the earth behave in a way known to us on a gravitational axis

This means our earth rotates nearly centrally to the suns location and takes 365 days to complete one cycle, all this spinning is done on a flattish gravitational plane rather like the rings are to Saturn in appearance.

The tilt in the earth or if you would like to call it a wobble does so occur at regular intervals during the annual cycle thus the sun points directly to the equator in the spring equinox but towards the north thereafter for 3 months or so creating summer for the northern hemisphere

I will avoid mentioning our accentuated magnetic Fields here for ease of answering

This means that the earth is heated by the sun north of the equator to form the northern hemisphere summer 6 months later due to the tilt of the gravitational axis the same happens to the Southern Hemisphere from the equator.

This creates seasons when it is hot in Australia it will be cooler in Britain for instance and vise-versa 6 months later.

If you had a spinning top and spun it on the floor, just as it was slowing to a stop it wobbles but then during it's spin, should you tapped it with your finger laterally, the top would wobble in much the same way as our earth does in relation to it's orbit of the sun.

Just simply apply the rules that one spin top rotation around is similar to one year on the earth orbital circuit of the sun

The wobble of a top is called nutation. The earth does indeed wobble (ie nutate) but it occurs not annually but over some thousands of years. So the night sky appears to rotate around a fixed point (direction) close to the pole star, and that point does not move perceptively during anyone's lifetime, let alone a year. Seasons are caused because the spin axis of the earth is not exactly perpendicular to the plane of the orbit. So for some months the northern hemisphere tilts a certain amount away from the sun (northern winter) at the same time that the southern hemisphere tilts towards the sun. Six months later the earth is round the opposite side of the sun but the tilt hasn't changed so then the north is tilted towards the sun = northern summer etc.

Why is the earths seasons changed?

The seasons change NOT because the Earth rotates, but because of our revelution around the sun. It is summer when the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun. the seasons have nothing to do with the distance to the sun. the Eath is closest to the sun in winter.


How does earths revolution around the sun relate to the seasons?

It relates because after every orbit the seasons change


We have seasons because sometimes the earth is closer to the sun?

Seasons are actually caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun, not by its distance from the sun. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, creating the four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn.


Why do temperature change in the seasons?

The temps change because in the axis is facing away from the sun or toward it.


What happens because of earths revolution?

There is change of seasons when earth revolves about the sun.


What are the evidences that the earth is revolving around the sun?

we experience climate change, our seasons change and scientists have proven it.


What causes seasons to change in the northern and southern hemispheres as the earth revolves around the sun?

Seasons change in the northern and southern hemispheres due to the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun. When the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it experiences summer, while the southern hemisphere experiences winter. As the Earth continues its orbit, the hemispheres switch positions in relation to the sun, causing the seasons to change.


Why does the time it takes the Sun to cross the sky change with the seasons?

Because the Earth is tilted relative to its orbit, the noon sun appears to move higher and lower as the Earth moves around the sun. This changes the angle of the sun as it hits the Earth and is one primary reason for the seasons. As the noon sun gets higher the place the sun rise and sun set move north. This apparent movement makes the path the sun follows longer and longer through the sky. This change in the number of daylight hours is the other reason for the change in seasons.


What happens as the earth orbits the sun when the tilt remains the same?

North and south hemispheres change relative angles and positions tom the sun and the seasons change.


How do change the?

The seasons change because of the Earth's tilt. When it's summer, the tilt will be facing more to the sun. When it's winter, the tilt will be facing away from the sun.


What are the causes of the change of seasons?

The earth orbiting the sun and the tilt in the earth's axis or rotation.


Do galaxies change with the seasons because earth is traveling around the sun?

No, galaxies do not change with the seasons because of Earth's movement around the Sun. The change in seasons on Earth is due to the tilt of its axis relative to its orbit around the Sun. Galaxies are vast collections of stars, gas, and dust that remain relatively unchanged on large timescales.
