Tilt. The tilt of the earth of 23 degrees means that the parts closest to the sun have summer and the other side of the world has winter.
There would be no seasons on Earth if the Earth's axis had no tilt because throughout the year the Earth would get an equal amount of sun everywhere.
In that case, the seasons would be more pronounced.
If the Earth's axis were not tilted relative to the plane of the ecliptic, we would not have any "seasons" at all.
It would more correct to say that the Earth has seasons because it tilts, rather than saying the Earth tilts to make seasons.
There would be no seasons.
the seasons will change!!
No
Since the seasons are a result of Earth's tilt and its orbit around the sun, a retrograde rotation would not have a significant impact on the seasons.
well there would be no seasons
If the earth's axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, the earth would still have winter and summer as the two main seasons. The two seasons would beÊoccurringÊdaily since the earth would still be rotating but on a perpendicular plane to its orbit.Ê
There would be no seasons. This is because seasons are created by earths tilt.
