The reason we have seasons on our planet is because...
we are closer to the sun during the winter and further during the winter.
the tilt of Earth's axis allows for more direct sunlight in the summer and less direct sunlight in the winter.
seasonal wind patterns carry warmer winds during the summer and colder winds during the winter.
the Earth's orbit becomes more like an oval to give us different seasons.
