Why do the temperatures change over the months?
Because Earth is tilted on its axis, the stars reflect more light during different times of the Earth's yearly orbit.
Because the Moon is tilted on its axis, it reflects more sunlight on Earth during different times of Earth's yearly orbit.
Because Earth is tilted on its axis, parts of Earth get more sunlight during different times of Earth's yearly orbit.
Because the Sun is tilted on its axis, parts of Earth get more sunlight during different times of Earth's yearly orbit.

The correct explanation for why temperatures change over the months is:
**Because Earth is tilted on its axis, parts of Earth get more sunlight during different times of Earth's yearly orbit.**
This axial tilt causes the angle and intensity of sunlight to vary throughout the year, leading to the changing seasons and corresponding temperature variations.
