∙ 9y agoYes. 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.

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.
When farthest from earth it is at apogee.
Mars has the most elliptical orbit. The earth's is almost a perfect circle
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.
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.
Seasons will not change Anyways, you can't challenge nature
no it only has 4 seasons klam07
no no no
The Earth rotates in not a perfect circle around the sun but in a oval shape.
