how does the revolution-earth traveling around sun-effect the earths seasons??

Answer 1

The tilt of the earth's axis and the revolution of the earth around the sun both contribute to the formation of seasons.Because of the tilted axis ,the northern hemisphere is pointing towards the sun(summer for NH) at the apogee (farthest)position of the elliptical orbit and the southrern hemisphere is pointing towards the sun at the perigee(nearest)Position bringing the summer to the southrern hemisphere.
If the revolution is not there, the apparent movement of the sun between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capricon will not be there and the earth will remain stationary and will be spinning always in a particular direction from the sun .
The tilt of the axis (without the revolution) will only cause difference in day time and night time .

Answer 2

The tilt of the earth on it's axis is what affects the seasons. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, we have summer up here. When it tilts the other way, it's winter in south america. Revolution of the Earth constitutes a day. Revolution of Earth around the sun constitutes a year.

Answer 3

One primary and one secondary way:

Primary - The Earth is tilted on it's axis (23.5 degrees or so). When the tilted forward side faces the sun it is summer, away it is winter. The axis tilt is fixed with respect to the Earth-Sun plane so seasons cycle through once per year (one rotation about the sun).

A lesser effect (secondary) is distance from the sun. By chance, the northern hemisphere has summer (tilted to the sun) when we are closest to the sun and winter when we are furthest. This means the southern hemisphere is opposite. They have summer when the Earth is furthest from the Sun. This is why Southern hemisphere seasons are not as severe (summer is somewhat cooler, winter somewhat warmer).

Answer 4

I think that has more to do with the the elipitcal shape that it revolves around the sun. It also has to do with how the earth spins on its own axis.

Heck the north and south poles change their positive and negative charges every few years (cannot remember the intervals) too.

Answer 5

As the Earth revolves around the sun it travels in an oval-shaped path...so at times we are closer to the sun (summer) and at times we are farther from the sun (winter).
