What causes seasons?

Seasons are caused because The Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees, so as the Earth rotates, one part of the Earth is closer to the sun than the others. This is why at any given point in time, the seasons are opposite on opposite hemispheres. This Phenomenon also determines the length of the days ( not literal days, but the window of time it is light outside).
