It is this inclination of the Earth's axis of rotation that is the reason for the seasons. The earth maintains the same angle of inclination throughout its orbit. Another way of saying this is that the earth’s axis is parallel to itself at all points in its orbit.

The Earth rotates around once in 24 hours - that's a rate of 1000 miles per hour!. The time it takes for the Earth to rotate completely around once is what we call a day. It's Earth's rotation that gives us night and day. ... The combined effect of the Earth's tilt and its orbital motion result in the seasons.

All four of the seasons display their own unique characteristics, but what causes the change? ... 3 It takes the earth one year to make a single orbit (or revolution). At the same time the earth is revolving around the sun, it is also spinning (or rotating) on its axis. The earth completes one rotation every 24 hours.

The tilt of Earth's rotation axis is the primary cause of the seasons. ... Earth's rotation axis is currently tilted at ~23.5° with respect to the ecliptic axis, the line drawn from the center of the Earth and perpendicular to the ecliptic plane. This tilt is called the obliquity of Earth's axis.
