Does the earth actually tilt

Answer 1

The way heat by energy reflects off of earth because of the angle at which it hits- apex

Answer 2

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Answer 3

It is the tilt of the Earth as it revolves around the Sun that causes the seasons, by changing the angle and duration of sunlight reaching areas of each hemisphere. The poles will alternate their angles, either toward (summer) or away (winter) from Sol (Sun).

Summer in the northern hemisphere is winter in the southern, and vice versa. Between these two extremes are spring and fall. Areas closer to the equator experience much less seasonal variation in daylight.

The Earth's spin axis is what allows us to have different seasons on Earth. When the earth's axis is facing the sun that is when we have the season summer.

the angles at which the sun rays strike the earth( AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR ALL THAT READING T'F)

Answer 4

The Short Answer:

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

Answer 5

The Earth's physical tilt changes all the time but extremely slowly fluctuating between 22.1° and 24.5° every 42,000 years.

The Earth's magnetic poles currently drifts about 45km a year, may switch suddenly as "geomagnetic reversal" like 780,000 years ago.

Answer 6

No, the tilt is constant with respect to the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun. As the earth travels in its orbit one pole or the other will point to toward the sun.

Answer 7

Seasons occur because the earths axis is 23.5˚ of the suns, resulting in one half of the year, the Southern Hemisphere is further away (winter) and the northern hemisphere is closer (summer) and vise verser. Countries around the equator remain quite consistent in temperature.

Answer 8

The Inclination, not to be confused with the 23 degree 'axial tilt' of the earth, describes the orbital plane of the earth.

All of the planets orbits are irregular. Although roughly circular, the paths are actually elliptical. Furthermore, they are not all `level` or in the same plane when viewed from the side.

If the solar system were represented by putting objects on a circular table with a flat surface, then in reality sometimes the planets represented by the objects should be slightly above the table surface and sometimes below the surface.

For astronomical uses, the Earths inclination is often set as the reference point, so its 0 degrees. All other planets orbital planes are then compared to ours, so we would orbit the sun on the flat surface of the table (The elliptical inclination).

The suns equator may also be used a reference point instead though - we would then be talking about the inclination to the suns equator.

Answer 9

The seasons do not change due to earth's rotation on its axis. Seasonal change is due to the fact that the earth revolves around the sun and also that its axis of rotation is not perpendicular to the plane of rotation of its orbit around the sun.

Answer 10

revolution of earth causes seasons on earth.revolution of earth means rotation of the earth around the sun.rotation of the earth means earth rotates around itself.the earth needs 365 days to rotate the sun(for a revolution)
