If the Earth's axis was vertical - every point on its surface would have the same length of day and night, no matter what time of year it was. The tilt of the axis (to about 11 degrees) means that, as the Earth rotates, and travels around the sun, the length of day shortens and lengthens throughout the year.

How does the earths rotation affect your daily life?

Day and night! We are diurnnal creatures, biologically, although extending the "daylight" artificially to suit our ways of life.


How do the hours of daylight affect the temperature?

Well if the sun is out for a longer time the temperature will be much greater than when it is not out as long, because the sun is shining for a greater amount of time. It varies though depending on the weather.

Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?

Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.

How does earth's axis affect the number of daylight hours and the temperature of a location of earth?

Earth's axial tilt, approximately 23.5 degrees, significantly influences the number of daylight hours and temperature experienced at various locations. During summer in one hemisphere, that region is tilted toward the sun, resulting in longer daylight hours and higher temperatures. Conversely, during winter, the same hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, leading to shorter days and cooler temperatures. This axial tilt is responsible for the seasonal changes that impact climate and daylight duration across the planet.
