It takes 365.25 for 1 revolution around the sun.
The earth’s tilt and Earth’s revolution.
They are opposite seasons from each other.
The equator because the Earth’s axis isn’t facing the sun.

Winter solstices is December 21st, summer solstices is June 21st.
Spring equinoxes is March 21st, fall equinoxes is September 21st.

The shadows change because of the tilt of Earth’s axis. When we are in the summer tilt, your shadow is shorter because the Earth is tilted toward the Sun. In winter, the Earth is tilted away from the Sun and your shadow is longer.
Plants know because they measure the amount of darkness in a 24 hour period, also they measure how much cold they received that day. Animals know by the climate changes (ex: leaves falling, more rainfall etc.)
We would have shorter day and night and the seasons would go by faster.
