Answer 1

Answer:

A year is mainly divided into four seasons - winter, spring, summer and autumn. These seasons are experienced due to change in the position of Earth around the sun. Positions of the Earth change around sun because of its revolutions and tilts. 

Hence, as the Earth revolves around the sun through out the year, different parts receive varied amounts of heat. The part (pole) which is more tilted towards the sun experiences longer days and hotter climate during that period. As different parts of Earth are tilted towards the sun throughout the year while revolution, solstices and equinoxes are experienced.
