Seasons are caused by rotation and revolution.

 
Rotation is the movement of Earth on its axis while Revolution is the movement of the planet around the sun or its orbital path. 

The orbit is an oval, not a perfect circle. When we are at two distinct and opposite ends of the orbit, we are having winter and vice versa for summer.
