Seasons

According to RE theory the seasons work in the following way:

The Earth's axis is tilted from perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic by 23.45°. This tilting is what gives us the four seasons of the year - spring, summer, autumn (fall) and winter. Since the axis is tilted, different parts of the globe are oriented towards the Sun at different times of the year.

Summer is warmer than winter (in each hemisphere) because the Sun's rays hit the Earth at a more direct angle during summer than during winter and also because the days are much longer than the nights during the summer. During the winter, the Sun's rays hit the Earth at an extreme angle, and the days are very short. These effects are due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.



How does FE account for the seasons if the sun is directly above us and simply orbiting?

The orbit isn't perfectly uniform. The circular path grows and shrinks moving closer and further from the two hemispheres over time.

But in round earth there are periods of time when the sun is facing the other side of the planet.
On an FE the sun will not deviate that much surely?
