Which answer choice below best explains the changes in the seasons?

• Seasons change as a result of high temperatures caused by Earth’s tilt and revolution around the Sun.

• Seasons change as light from the Sun hits Earth’s atmosphere and as Earth rotates around the sun.

• Seasons change as a result of the temperature decreasing because of Earth’s rotation around the Sun.

• Seasons change due to the amount of sunlight hitting Earth and Earth’s tilt as it revolves around the Sun.
