How earth tilts and orbit causes season and how it effects day length?

Earth's tilt at the 23.5 causes unequal temperatures depending on were the earth is in its orbit around the sun. Because of the tilt when it's winter for the northern hemisphere, it is summer down in the Southern Hemisphere. When it is spring for the north, it is fall in the south and so on. Earth's tilt does not rotate as the earth does. So when the Solstices happen (depending on where you live, northern or southern) creates the longest day and longest nights or it will create the shortest day and the longest night. The equinox's that happen in spring and fall are the only days that both day and night are the same(ish).

Which of these causes the earth to experience season?
The Earths Inclination A+
What is the main reason for seasons on the Earth?
We have seasons, because the earth rotates around the sun, and where we are in the solar system effects what season we're in.
What 2 factors combine to cause seasons to change on earth?
Seasons on the planet Earth are determined by both the planet's distance from the sun, and the tilt of the earth on its axis.One's position and relative distance from the equator, north or south, decides which season occurs at which time. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the Northern portion experiences summer and the Southern Hemisphere experiences winter. Likewise, when the Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, the Southern portion of the globe has summer, while the north experiences winter. Distance also effects the seasons, though mainly the length of the seasons. Extreme distances from the equator, such as the poles, experience very long expanses of summer and winter. The closer you are to a pole, the longer the peaks of each season will be. The "winter" at a pole can be one long night that lasts for several days, weeks or months.
Property of earth which causes seasons?
The Earth's rotational axial tilt causes the seasons.
Is the length of the day the factor that governs the seasons?
The length of the day is not the reason but is a result of the season. The reason for seasons to take place is the inequality of distance between sun and earth with time. We all know that earth rotates around sun. But it won't rotate in a perfect circular path. The orbit of earth is an oval in shape. Hence, some times it will be closer to sun and some times farther. When it is closer, most of the area on earth is covered by sun. Hence, we have more day time (or length of the day) during summer. In a similar manner, as less area is covered by sun, the length of the day is less in winter.
