Solution

As answered previously...

It is basically the tilt of the earth which causes change of seasons. For half of the year the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun while for the other half, Southern hemisphere, is tilted away from the sun. The part which is tilted towards the sun would experience summer while the other part would experience winter. This keeps on changing as the Earth moves in its orbit.
