Best Answer

Because:-

1) The Earth orbits the Sun and take one year to make a revolution.

2) The Earth spins on its own axis (like a child's top) but the axis of spin (a line joining the north and south poles) is inclined (not at 90 degrees) to the plane in which it orbits the Sun.

This mean that at one part of the orbit the north pole is pointed towards the Sun and half a year later the south pole is pointed towards the Sun. This gives the seasons.
