Why is there winter?
Simply put, it is because of the revolution of the earth that the four seasons alternate. The specific reason is that the formation of the four seasons is the result of the earth's revolution around the sun. The earth has been spinning from west to east, and at the same time it goes around the sun. The orbit of the earth's revolution is an ellipse, and the sun is always in a focus.

In the continuous revolution of the earth, the included angle between the earth axis and the revolution orbit is always 66 34', that is, the earth always revolves around the sun obliquely. Because of the revolution of the earth, the direct point of the sun changes on the surface of the earth.
