The correct answer is option 2.

  • The seasons are created due to the Earth’s axis. This axis or the imaginary line would go through the Earth and around the spinning of the earth, would be tilted.   
  • Not only Earth, but other planets whose axis rotations are tilted would also experience seasonal changes.

  • ​The change in the ‘seasons’ on the earth occurs because the axis of ‘rotation of the earth’ is tilted with respect to the ‘plane of its orbit’.
