Answer:

The answer is the tilt of earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the tilt of earth affects the angle of the sun's rays and causes the seasons in temperate regions. Even though the earth is far away from the sun, the northen hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, so the solar energy is more concentrated in this area.
