The Earth's orbit affects climate primarily through variations in the distance from the Sun and the angle at which sunlight strikes the planet, known as Milankovitch cycles. These cycles include changes in eccentricity (the shape of the orbit), axial tilt, and precession (the wobble of the Earth's axis). These orbital changes influence the distribution of solar energy received by the Earth, leading to shifts in climate patterns over long periods, such as the onset of ice ages or warmer interglacial periods. Consequently, these variations can significantly impact global temperatures, precipitation patterns, and seasonal changes.

Climate
Is Climate change a threat to seasonal cycle?
No, the cycle is driven by the Earths Tilt and Orbit. However the cycle will be modified in its effects by climate changes happening on the Earth.
Explain the difference in the earths climate change when the earths orbit changes from elliptical to circular?
Earth's eccentricity Eccentricity is defined as the difference in shape between an ellipse and a perfect circle. In a similar fashion to Earth's obliquity, the more uniform Earth's orbit is (more like a perfect circle), the less difference there is in climate change throughout the year.

What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if earth were to not be rotating on its axis?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
How does the earths orbit affect earths temperature?
The Earth's orbit affects its temperature primarily through variations in solar radiation received at different times of the year due to its elliptical shape and axial tilt. These factors create seasonal changes, influencing climate patterns. Over long periods, shifts in the Earth's orbit, known as Milankovitch cycles, can lead to significant climate changes, contributing to glacial and interglacial periods. Ultimately, these orbital variations play a crucial role in regulating the Earth's overall climate and temperature.
Is the earths orbit around the sun highly elliptical or almost circular?
The earths orbit around the sun is almost circular.
