Why do we experience different seasons?

• Different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.

• The Earth's distance from the sun changes throughout the year.

• Seasons are caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis.

• Different countries have different climates that affect seasonal changes.

What is the effect of the Earth's orbit on seasons?

• The Earth's orbit causes the Sun to change color throughout the year.

• The Earth's orbit leads to varying sunlight intensity and duration, creating seasons.

• The Earth's orbit has no effect on the seasons at all.

• The Earth's orbit determines the length of the day and night only.

What causes the seasons on Earth?
