Question

Different seasons of the Earth are caused by ___________________.

• A. the inclination of the Earth's axis to the plane of its orbit
• B. Earth's elliptical orbit and varying speed of its revolution
• C. Varlation in the amount of energy given off by the sun
• D. its varying distance from the sun in winter and summer

Answer 1

The correct option is A the inclination of the Earth's axis to the plane of its orbit

• Due to the inclination of the earth's axis to the plane of its orbit, the position of sun rays falling directly on the earth's surface varies significantly during different times of the year.
• Sunrays fall directly on tropic of cancer in June and on the tropic of Capricorn in December, which leads to change in seasons on earth. Hence option A is correct.
