Question

What effect does the distance between Earth and the Sun have on Earth’s seasons?

Answer 1

Answer:

So actually, it is not so much the distance at a particular time that affects the seasons. It is a common misconception. It is in-fact the earths tilt. When we rotate around the sun, due to our tilt, the North and South of earth have different seasons. This is because when light is shining on to earth, because of Earths tilt, on one half the light shines more directly and on the other it scatters thus the different temperatures, causing season. Hope this helps.
