To understand the orbital motion of the Earth *as it moves along its
orbital circumference using a broom handle to act as the polar
coordinate and substitute for daily rotation,you literally have to
walk around a central object to comprehend the bigger picture,the
greater the perimeter the better where different parts of your body
change their position to the central object/Sun as you 'orbit' that
object.


When people say that the "tilt" of the Earth's axis causes the
seasons, they actually mean exactly this thing you are describing and
calling the "orbital specific". So you don't need to worry that our
conventional astronomers don't understand the seasons, or think that
the Earth's axis moves once a year.
