how to
relate seasons to earths orbit

Explanation:

The Earth's seasons are caused by the tilt of its axis. When one hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it experiences summer (more direct sunlight, longer days). The opposite hemisphere, tilted away, has winter (less direct sunlight, shorter days). In the given model, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun (more sunlight rays hitting it directly), so it is summer there. The Southern Hemisphere, tilted away, has winter.

Answer:

At this point in Earth's orbit, the Northern Hemisphere is in summer, and the Southern Hemisphere is in winter.
