Today I would like to discuss, the seasons, the tilt of the Earth and the constellations.

No 2 - Seasons, Constellations and 3D space

No 2a) Polaris, the Pole star, is always in the same place because it is very far away, so doesn't move much and is in the proper alignment with where the Earths northern axis is tilted and points to.
(See Figure 2a)

No (2b) The seasons are due to to the tilt of the Earth;
- In the Winter, light is at a lower angle and therefore weaker and there are less hours of daylight and more hours of night.
- In the summer, light is at a higher angle and therefore stronger and there are more hours of daylight and less hours of night time.
(See figure 2b)

No (2c) A particular spot on the Earth can see a certain radius of constellations  (180 degrees from horizon to horizon).
- These constellations, although present all year round, are not visible in the day time due to the brightness of the sun and the bright blue sky from scattering of light.
- So in the summer, when the Earth is at one side of the sun, the stars on the night side of the sky are visible.
- In the winter, when the Earth is on the opposite side of the sun, the stars are visible in the night sky and that sky is on the opposite side from the summer.
(See figure 2c)

No (2d) If you are in the southern hemisphere, you can see a certain amount of the sky in the summer and winter, as well, there is a column of stars, north of the equator that are never visible.
(See figure 2d)

Is there an explanation on flat Earth, that explains how the Seasons work, the starts orbit etc.?
Actual information on the mechanics of how it is done on flat Earth, e.g. the forces, speeds, distances etc. Not just vague descriptions!
