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.
The Earth's orbit around the sun is an ellipse, not a perfect circle. This means the distance between the Earth and the sun varies slightly throughout the year, causing the change in seasons. The orbit is slightly elliptical due to gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies and not a perfect circle.
No, the Earth's orbit around the Sun is not a perfect circle but an ellipse. This means that the Earth's distance from the Sun varies throughout the year, with the closest point called perihelion and the farthest point called aphelion.
The tilt of Earth's axis is the primary reason for the seasons, not its distance from the Sun. The angle of sunlight hitting Earth's surface causes the variation in seasons, with the most direct sunlight occurring during summer and the least direct during winter. The changing distance between Earth and the Sun does influence the intensity of sunlight but is not the main driver of the seasons.
When farthest from earth it is at apogee.
The Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle; it is elliptical. When the Earth reaches its perihelion (the point closest to the Sun) in early January, it is winter in the Northern Hemisphere because the tilt of the Earth's axis, not its distance from the Sun, primarily determines the seasons. The Earth's axis is tilted, causing different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight, resulting in the seasons.
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
The Earth rotates in not a perfect circle around the sun but in a oval shape.

If by revolution you mean the spin on it's own axis this is more or less a perfect circle. If you are referring to it's orbit around the sun, this is elliptical, not a perfect circle.
It's the same reason that mountains are not perfect triangles: Nature is imperfect.

Oval or elliptical shaped. (Not a perfect circle)
