Earth rotates on its axis which takes 24 hours. This is what causes day and night. Earth also revolves around the Sun in an orbit that takes 365 days. This is what causes the seasons. The tilt of Earth's axis causes the sunlight to hit different parts of the Earth differently which is what causes the temperature changes (seasons)

3. Slide
60 seconds
Earth has a tilted axis which is what causes the different seasons during its revolution around the Sun. Earth's rotation around its own axis is not always the same speed. It can speed up or slow down depending on the events in its environment. Earth moves in a West to East direction around the sun. Earth's equator is an imaginary line that divides the planet into two halves, the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
