Question

Seasons change due to ___________.

• A. revolution of the Earth around the Sun
• B. revolution of the Sun around the Earth
• C. rotation of the Earth
• D. rotation of the Sun

Answer 1

The correct option is A revolution of the Earth around the Sun

The Earth takes ~365 days to complete one revolution around the Sun. When the Earth is revolving, the amount of sunlight each location on the planet gets every day changes slightly.

When the northern hemisphere is facing towards the Sun, it is summer there. The southern hemisphere has winter at the same time due to less or no sunlight.
