The Sun's path in the sky will appear to change as a year passes. This path resembles a figure eight. The path is curved due to Earth's tilted axis. The path is long because the Earth makes an oblong orbit around the Sun. The path is technically called a Analemma.

The movement of the sun isn't what causes the change of seasons on earth. It is the movement of the earth around the sun and the fact that the axis of rotation of the earth is not perpendicular to the plane of solar rotation that gives rise to the changes we see as the seasons.
