Detailed explanation-1: -The Short Answer: Earth’s tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun’s most direct rays.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thus due to the revolution of the Earth around the Sun, different seasons are observed on the planet. So, the correct answer is Option B. Note: The main reason for having different seasons is that the axis of the earth and when it is closer and away from the Sun during the revolution we have different seasons.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth has been drawn at four points along its orbit; you can see that the axis is tilted 23 (23.5, to be precise) degrees over from the vertical (straight up). These four points represent the peak of winter (December), spring (March), summer (June), and of autumn (September), in the northern hemisphere.
