Seasonal variations on the Earth take place due to motion of ____ in its orbit.
A
Sun
B
Moon
C
Earth
D
Solar System
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Earth’s tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun’s most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it’s winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Detailed explanation-2: -The earth’s spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons. When the earth’s axis points towards the sun, it is summer for that hemisphere. When the earth’s axis points away, winter can be expected.

Detailed explanation-3: -The seasons keep changing on the Earth because of the inclination of the Earth relative to its plane of rotation around the Sun as well as the revolution of the Earth around the Sun.

Detailed explanation-4: -Polar regions experience seasonal variation, although they are generally colder than other places on Earth. Near the poles, the amount of daylight changes dramatically between summer and winter.

Detailed explanation-5: -when it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Thus, you find that there are days and nights and changes in the seasons because of the rotation and revolution of the earth respectively.
