If the earth rotated in a perfect circle then would you have seasons?

Yes. The change of the seasons occurs because the earth's axis of rotation is tilted slightly from its plane of rotation about the sun. Seasonal changes are not due to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit, which is slight.
In fact, Earth is at aphelion, the point in its orbit where it is farthest from the sun, during the first half of July.

Does the earth revolve around the sun in a perfect circle?
no no no
Why does the changing distance between earth and sun not affect the seasons?
When Earth orbits the sun, its eccentricity of the orbit is only 0.017. That's very close to 0, a perfect circle. So when it's at its closest to the sun (perihelion) , it doesn't make a difference.
Because the orbit of the moon is not a perfect circle there are times when it is closer to Earth When the moon is closest to Earth it is said to be at perigee When farthest from the Earth it is at?
When farthest from earth it is at apogee.
Which planet has most elliptical orbit?
Mars has the most elliptical orbit. The earth's is almost a perfect circle
Does the earth have an orbit with a low or high eccentricity?
The Earth has an eccentricity of 0.01671123. Where 0 is a perfect circle, and 1 is a parbola. So by that it has a low eccentricity.
How would the seasons change if the earth rotated left im only in fourth grade please answer?
If earth rotated the opposite direction, seasons wouldn't change because they are caused by earth's axis being at a 23.5 degrees tilt. So one hemisphere has the opposite season than the other. Seasons occur because one half of the earth is tilted more towards the sun and the other is further.
What if the earth rotated on it's axis and the axis was tilted but the earth did not move around the sun?
Seasons will not change Anyways, you can't challenge nature
Does the Arctic Circle have four seasons?
no it only has 4 seasons klam07
Does the earth revolve around the sun in a perfect circle?
