The distance between the sun and the earth gives real meaning to temperature. We revolve around the sun in an oval-like pattern. At the furthest part we're in winter, we have less heat and therefore snow [Winter] As the Earth gets closer, it gains more heat from the sun [Summer] And all the distances in between make seasons like Fall or Spring.... Our Earth's axis spins around once every 24 hours (about), and doesn't contribute much to the season.
