When they rotate,it causes seasons by being farther from the sun,which makes it winter or just colder.If it is closer it is summer or just hotter. Being farther also helps it become spring and fall.It becomes night time because when the planets are rotating,they go to the moon and when they move away,they go to the sun and make it day time and that is why here is 24 hours in a day because it takes 24 hours to get back to the moon.You can't feel the earth moving.

About the only thing that you have correct is that the planets orbit the sun. Everything else is wrong.

Wow, what a mouthfull of ideas in one small paragraph. I am
not sure where you got some of those theories. It is almost like you caught the general idea of some theories and then made up the rest. I guess it was all done in good fun.
However, in reality, yes, all 9 planets do orbit the Sun at various rates of speed, some slowly, and some fairly fast. Day and Night are the result of any planet spinning around on its own axis such that the Sun shines on one side of the planet for a while then, as the planet spins around, the Sun gradualy shines on the rest of the planet until the illumination is back where it started.
Nothing goes back and forth to the Moon as such. I think you have made an incorrect assumption here.
Different seasons are caused by the orbiting planets having eliptical orbits rather than circular ones, and by the axis of rotation of certain planets being tilted slightly from the plane of their natural orbit around the Sun. This tilt causes half of the orbiting planet to be closer to the Sun for one half of the orbit, then farther away from the Sun for the remainder of the orbit.
Closer = Summer, Farther Away = Winter.
It is true that you cannot feel the Earth spinning on its axis at roughly 1000 miles per hour, or orbiting around the Sun at an average distance of 93 Million miles. But you can see the clouds flying by overhead. Do not watch the clouds close to the surface of the Earth... Watch the ones way up in the sky. Place a stick in the ground and sight along the tip of the stick to some particular cloud way up there. See how fast it moves away from the tip of the stick...yes, that is fast.

There are eight planets now that Pluto was demoted. Among the planets are other celestial bodies in our Solar System. Some of the most interesting objects in our solar system are also the smallest or largest. In addition to the sun, planets, and moons, our solar system has a variety of small objects such as asteroids, comets, stars, meteors, and moons.
Our seasons change because the part of the Earth which is near the Sun changes, as the Earth goes round the Sun. The Earth goes round the Sun in its orbit (revolves) but it also goes round itself (rotates).
You are right that the seasons on some of those planets also change due to the sun and according to their proximity to it.
I think because of the way you structured your question a lot of people may have misunderstood you. Or, maybe I did. I am assuming you are saying because those planets ALSO orbit the same sun, they also have seasonal changes. Which is right. But their seasons are created by many different things such as the distance they are from the sun at various time, their tilt and their revolution and rotation speed. Their seasons are different from Earths.

There are now only 8 planets as Pluto was demoted.
Seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth not the distance from the Sun. When the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun it is summer there. This is when the southern hemisphere is tilted away which is why it is winter there when it is summer in the north. If it were simply the distance from the sun it would be summer (or winter) over the whole globe at the same time.

This is proof that our educational system is sad indeed. Pluto is not a planet anymore. We are down to EIGHT. And the seasons are NOT caused by distance from the sun. They are caused by the earth's TILT. That 15 degree offset is why we have summer in the Southern Hemisphere at the SAME TIME as winter in the North. And no other planet besides the Earth cares about the moon. Try googling Copernicus and Tycho Brahe. You MIGHT learn something.

Sadly, there are no longer 9 planets! Pluto got demoted!

um yeah .. you didnt know that ?? wth ?
by the way pluto isnt a planet anymore so there is only 8 planets, but i dont know if i can give you that information because you didnt even know that we rotate the sun . i might confuse you too much

Excuse me...nine planets? I believe that Pluto is no longer acknowledged as a planet.

You are wrong on every single count. Obviously on purpose. What a waste of space.
I suppose it's somewhat amusing to see how many people agree with you.

There are only eight planets! There have always been eight planets. You make no sense.
