Question
why does earth experience seasons? (2 answers) lines of longitude influence the amount of insolation an area receives earth is closer to the sun at perihelion and farther from the sun at aphelion earths revolution around the sun the tilt of the earth earth spinning on its axis
The Earth experiences seasons mainly due to two factors. Its revolution around the Sun takes it through different positions in its orbit over the course of a year. Also, the tilt of the Earth's axis (about 23.5 degrees) causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight at different times. Lines of longitude are related to time - zones and not directly to seasons. The distance from the Sun at perihelion and aphelion has a minor impact on seasons compared to the tilt and revolution. Earth spinning on its axis causes day - night cycle, not seasons.
