How does the tilt of earth's axis and the way the sun's rays hit an area while earth orbits the sun affect climate?

Answer 1

The Sun and Earth's Climate

The Sun is a HOT ball of gas (a star) located in the center of our Solar System; It provides the heat for each and every planet.

All the planets in the solar system rotate around the sun, but they don't rotate in a circle, they rotate in an elipse.

As the earth revolves around the sun in an eliptical path, sometimes we are further from the sun (which causes us to feel a colder climate) and sometimes we are nearer to the sun (which causes the climate to feel warmer). This process takes 365 days or one year (yeah, add in that whole leap year phenomena every 4 years )

In addition to the distance from the sun, there is one other major factor-

the tilt of the Earth's axis.

The Earth is tilted on an angle, when that angle is pointed towards the sun (while in its elliptical rotation) we feel warmer, when certain parts of the Earth are tilted away from the sun, we feel colder (a major cause of Seasons).

We're not done just yet....

The Earth Also spins on its axis - causing day and night (every 24 hrs).

It is warmer in the day when the sun ray's are shining and colder at night when it's dark.

Answer 2

1. It creates seasons.

2. 1. Based on the Earth's tilt, the sun hits a direct spot causing seasons and different climate at a different time.

   2. 1. When the north end of the earths axis is tilted toward the sun, the northern hemisphere has summer.

      2. At the same time, the south end of earths axis is tilted away from the sun. As a result the Southern Hemisphere has winter.

   3. The sun's rotation creates day and night.

Answer 3

For one, it creates seasons. Based on the Earth's tilt, as the Earth orbits around the sun, there are periods where one half of the Earth is closer to the sun than the other and vise versa, creating the four seasons we recognize. It has also been the basis for our calendar in which one year equals one revolution around the sun.

The spinning alone of the Earth as it goes around the sun has a huge effects on the Earth. It is thought that if the Earth were to stop spinning, it would have drastic effects on the climate and ability to live on the Earth.

Answer 4

earths axis is little tilted which makes its rotation different at different points of time. this change in rotation and the significant difference of distant between the earth and the sun affects the climate

Answer 5

changes in the angle and amount of sunlight that reach different locations on on the planet

Answer 6

Yes o, Earths tilt does affect the climate, wich ever side is closest to the sun is wormer then the part thats far away from the sun.
