explain why the earth has seasons
user
the earth has seasons because its axis is tilted with respect to its orbit around the sun. this tilt causes different parts of the planet to receive more or less direct sunlight depending on the time of year. this changes the amount of energy reaching particular areas, resulting in different temperatures and weather patterns at different times of the year.
