The main reason for the seasonal effects at mid-latitudes on the Earth is

(a)   the tilt of the spin axis of Earth to its orbital plane, resulting in a change in the angle of incidence of solar radiation on the Earth's surface as the Earth orbits around the Sun.
(b)   the variation in the distance between Sun and Earth because of the elliptical orbit of the Earth, causing a variation in the intensity of solar radiation on Earth.
(c)   the change in the tilt angle of the Earth's spin axis relative to the celestial equator. The Sun appears to move along the equator in our sky, producing a change in the angle of solar radiation on the Earth.
