As the earth spins on its axis, the axis does not move around the sun like the earth does, it always faces the same direction. When the north axis is titled more towards the sun, the north hemisphere is warmer, while when the north axis is titled away from the sun, the north hemisphere is colder.This is caused by direct and indirect sun rays.

Hey mrsv we have 4 seasons because we are on a tilt and witht he axis thruw it and were rotating around the sun while spinning and if it directly hits china wich would make it summer it would be winter here in canada because we dont get direct sunshine and it gets cold and it snows! i hope that was good well bye!
