The Short Answer:
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different
parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North
Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And
when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's qvinter in the Northern
Hemisphere.
