What relationship between the Earth and the sun causes the seasons to occur?Because Earth is tilted on its axis as it orbits the sun, places get different amounts of sunlight and heat at different times of the year.As the Earth moves closer to the sun, it is summer on EarthWhen there isnt a planet blocking the Sun from the Earth, it is summer on EarthAs the sun is farther from the Earth, it is colder and that makes it winter.A.
