The summer and winter seasons in a year are caused by
aphelion (farthest) and perihelion (nearest) positions of the Earth from the Sun during the annual revolution
Incorrect Answerrotation of the Earth on its axis
Incorrect Answervariation in solar insolation
Incorrect Answerrevolution of the Earth on its inclined axis.
Correct AnswerExplanation:
The summer and winter seasons in a year are caused by revolution of the earth on its inclined axis.
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
