Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Tilt and Revolution The Earth’s axis is not oriented vertically, but is tilted by 23.5 degrees. The north end of the axis is always pointed toward the North Star as the Earth revolves around the sun. This tilt, combined with its revolution around the Sun, causes seasonal changes.
Detailed explanation-2: -The tilt of the Earth’s axis is the most important reason why seasons occur. The Earth’s movement around the Sun causes seasons. The Earth is always tilted to one side as it orbits the Sun. So, when the North pole tilts towards Sun, it’s summer in the Northern hemisphere and winter in the Southern hemisphere.
