What is one factor that contributes to seasons occurring in the New York state?

As the earth orbits the sun, its axis remains tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees. This means that different parts of the earth receive more sunlight at different times of the year. When New York state is tilted towards the sun, it receives more sunlight and experiences warmer weather. When New York state is tilted away from the sun, it receives less sunlight and experiences cooler weather.
