If Earth's axis was not tilted, there would be no seasons. The seasons occur because the axis on which Earth turns is tilted with respect to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The North Pole is tilted toward the Sun for half of the year, and the South Pole is tilted toward the Sun for the other half of the year. The hemisphere that is tilted toward the Sun has a longer day, receives more of the Sun's rays, and receives them more directly than the hemisphere tilted away from the Sun. These conditions result in the season called summer.
