Does Earth's distance from the Sun cause the seasons?

No, the distance from the Sun does not cause seasons. Seasons are caused by the Earth's 23.5° axial tilt and its revolution around the Sun.

Why are summers warmer than winters?

Summers are warmer because the hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, receiving more direct sunlight and longer daylight hours. In winter, the tilt is away, resulting in spread-out sunlight and shorter days.

Why are seasons opposite in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?

Because the Earth's tilt remains constant, when one hemisphere leans toward the Sun, the other must lean away, causing opposite seasonal experiences.
