What causes seasons? The tilt of the Earth on its axis The 23.5° tilt is caused by the interaction between the Moon and the Earth.
Seasons on Earth Two reasons the Earth has seasons: 23.5 degree tilt

The Seasons We experience Seasons because the Earth does not receive the same amount of solar radiation at all times. When the Northern Hemisphere is tilted.
Earth-Sun Relationships p.p. 481 – 482 & Nearly all energy that drives our weather and climate on Earth comes from the Sun Earth only absorbs.
Seasons. Seasons happen because of Earth’s tilt on its axis AND revolution around the Sun. Axis- imaginary line drawn from the north to the south pole.
