How would earth systems be affected if earth's axis were perpendicular to its orbital plane?

We would not have the seasons as we currently know them. There would be essentially no seasonal change anywhere over the course of the year. Any differences would be minor.

A picture of earths orbital path?
elliptical.
Is the earths axis perpendicular to the equator?
Mercury
Another name for the earths orbital period?
The year.
Important role do diatoms play in modern Earth systems?
How do diatoms influence the earths systems? Two ways
How many degrees is the earths axis tilted perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic?
Approximately 23°. As a matter of interest, the Tropics of Cancer and capricorn are 23° from the Equator, these representing the most northerly/southerly points on the Earth where the Sun can be directly overhead. This is due to that tilt of the earth.
How wide is earths axis?
The Earth's axis is tiled 23.4 degrees. It tilts away from the perpendicular of its orbital plane which is why seasons are produced on Earth. The earth rotates on its axis 266.26 times each year.

What is earth inclination?
Earths orbital inclination is 1.57869°
Another name for the earths orbital period?
The year.
What is the angle of inclination of the Earths axis with its orbital plane what is its effect?
The Earth's axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the orbital plane. Or to put it another way, the Earth's equator is tilted at 23.5 degrees to the Earth's orbital plane. The main effect is to cause the seasons. That's because the tilt affects the amount of sunlight a particular place gets as the Earth orbits the Sun.
Why are astronomers interested in the earths orbital pattern?
cuz my dik is big
What type of satellite orbits perpendicular to the earths equator?
polar satallite
The Earths orbit is closest to the sun in January so why is it cold in the northern hemisphere during January?
The tilt of the earth's axis, away from the perpendicular to its orbital plane, has a much greater influence on the climate in any one place than the earth's distance from the sun has. As you correctly point out, the earth's orbital distance from the sun is completely overshadowed by other effects.
What is The study of earths systems and the systems in space is called?
earth science
What means the tilt of the earths axis?
In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, or, equivalently, the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane. It differs from orbital inclination.
What is the external energy that drive the Earths systems?
cheezits
