Considering that the earth's revolution causes us to face the sun (day), and also makes us face away from the sun (night), i would assume thats true.
Seasons are a little more complicated, but basically as the earth tilts, the edge facing closer to the sun is summer, and the opposite is winter

Night and Day are caused by the Earth's Rotation on its axis. The 23.5 degree tilt ensures that different parts of the world get direct or indirect sunlight from the sun and this causes seasons.

No and no. Day is caused by Apollo driving his chariot across the sky. The seasons are the goddess demeter letting the world grow cold while missing her daughter persephone, who comes back every spring.
The whole "axis" and "revolution" nonsense are just stories, myths told to comfort children. Only the superstitious believe that stuff.

First is definitely true. Second is probably true for your purposes, but there are other factors that contribute to the seasons, namely parallelism of the axis and earth's revolution around the sun.

Yes yes smart person. The earth is actually closer to the sun in winter. In the summer it is farther away but due to tilt the sun is more overhead and the rays are more direct.

NO night and day occur by earths ROTATION on its axis,
seasons occur by earths REVOLUTION around the sun!!!!
