clear all
The Earth's tilt on its axis and its revolution around the Sun cause different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of solar radiation throughout the year, leading to the seasons. The 24 - hour rotation of the Earth on its axis causes day and night. The Sun rotates on its own axis but this doesn't cause Earth's seasons. The Sun does not revolve around the Earth; it is the Earth that revolves around the Sun.
