much difference.

It's because the seasons are caused by the *TILT* of the Earth, not the orbit. Yes, they would still exhibit seasons and in the same way: summer in USA means winter in Australia.

If that were the case, we would have no seasons.http://daphne.palomar.edu/jthorngren/tut… True I think ——————The sun’s rays are pretty close to parallel to each other when they reach the Earth,

The seasons are caused by the tilt of Earth's rotational axis, relative to its orbital axis. The tilt is about 23 degrees. If you think about it, the seasons can't be caused by Earth's proximity to the Sun, because the northern hemisphere experiences winter (the coldest season) when the southern hemisphere experiences summer (the warmest season).

Cause the distance from the sun doesn't influence the seasons, it's the angle the Earth is to the sun. When it's summer in North America, the angle to the sun is almost direct, making it warmer. When it's winter in Australia, the sun is angled away from Australia, making it cooler. Absolutely.
