It spins on an axis that is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. This tilt means that first one pole, then the other, is tipped toward the Sun as the planet circles the Sun.
When the North Pole is inclined toward the Sun, it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. When the South Pole is inclined toward the Sun, the Southern Hemisphere has summer and the northern has winter.
Twice a year (spring and fall equinoxes) neither pole is tipped toward the Sun for a brief moment. On that day, day and night are about equally long (12 hours) for the entire planet.
The axial tilt is about 23.5 degrees to the perpendicular to the
orbital plane.
What else can I help you with?
WHY DOES CLIMATE DIFFER FROM PLACE TO PLACE BECAUSE OF EARTHS SHAPE?
Because of Earth's shape and the fact that it spins with a tilted axis as it orbits the Sun.
Why equinoxes and solstices occur?
These happen because the axis of Earths spin in inclined at an angle from the normal of to the plane in which it orbits the Sun.

Just like the earth the sun on its axis?
Spins.
Which planet spins sideways?
Uranus is the planet in our solar system that spins on its side. Its axis of rotation is tilted at a steep angle, causing it to appear as if it is rolling along its orbit around the sun.
Earth spins on its?
axis. The rotation of the Earth on its axis causes day and night as different parts of the Earth face towards or away from the sun. It takes approximately 24 hours for the Earth to complete one full rotation.
The sun spins on its axis roughly once each what?
month
Does the Earth spin on its axis in the same or opposite direction as the sun orbit?
All but one planet in our solar-system spins clockwise, that is venus. All other spins counter-clockwise or cyclonically. The Sun also spins Cyclonically, so the Earth spins in the same direction as the Sun.
How does earths orbiting the sun relate to seasons?
the space cycle that creates canadas four seasons is earths orbiting around the sun and rotating its axis changes the angle of witch sunlight strikes diffrent parts of earth
Of all the gas giants which one spins on its side?
the gas giant that spins on its side is uranus
What is the Imaginary rod on which the earth rotate?
The axis
What planet spins on nearly a horizontal axis?
Uranus spins on a nearly horizontal axis, tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun. This unique orientation causes extreme seasonal variations on the planet as different hemispheres receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout its orbit.
