If Earth's rotational axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, every day would be like the equinoxes (around the 20th of March and around the 22nd of September). At the north and south poles, the sun would always be on the horizon. The sun would always be directly over the equator, and just about everywhere on Earth would have 12.1 hours of daylight every day.

∙ 8y agoEvery day would comprise 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. The sun would reach an overhead position only on the equator. At all other locations its highest position in the sky would be determined by the latitude. There would be seasons, because the Earth's orbit is elliptical rather than circular, but the changes between them would be less dramatic.

What can you do if there is no sunlight?
if there was no sunlight life on earth would not survive for very long.
What technology do you have to protect the earth from the sun?
This "severe burning sunlight" is ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, and protects Earth from this radiation. Without it, life on earth would not exist as we know it today.
How does sunlight aid in survival?
will different plants need different amount of sunlight . they need sunlight for photosynthesis that's how they make their own food. without sunlight,there would be no photosynthesis and plants.
Does Venus have 1 hour of sunlight every 7 years?
No. Half of the planet would be in sunlight (day) while the other half would be in darkness (night), just like the Earth, with the exception of its rotational speed, which is about once every 243 Earth days, instead of Earth's 24 hours.
Why from a distance earth would be the brightest of the nine planets?
This is because sunlight is reflected by the planet's water
If the Sun were to stop showering the Earth with sunlight what would be the likely outcome?
For a start, it would become dark. In the long term, no life would survive on Earth without sunlight.
What effect would an increase in clouds have on earth's climate?
Cloud cover prevents Sunlight from reaching the Earth's surface, keeping the earth cooler.Cloud cover prevents heat escaping into space, keeping the Earth warmer.
What are the problems you will have to face if earth does not get sunlight?
All the energy for living things and all the energy for fossil fuel, hydroelectric and wind energy comes form the energy of sunlight. Without sunlight there would be no life and Earth would be a frozen dead planet.
Is it true sunlight a natural resource?
Absolutely true! Sunlight is the most abundant and the most powerful resource on earth. Without sunlight, plants would not grow and we would have nothing to eat. Sunlight also has the most potential as an energy resource.
What can you do if there is no sunlight?
if there was no sunlight life on earth would not survive for very long.
Would a plant grow faster with sunlight or without sunlight?
In most all cases with sunlight.
Can you survive without sun?
It depends on how the question is read. If the question is asking purely, "If the sun were to vanish, would people be able to survive?", the answer is, No. The Sun provides heat and warmth without which the Earth would become a frozen wasteland that would lead to the death of all life. Additionally, the Sun's gravity keeps the Earth from randomly wandering around space, so the Earth would likely suffer increasing asteroid bombardment. If the question is asking whether people can survive without direct exposure to sunlight, then the answer depends on the person. There are some people who are hypo-allergenic to sunlight and must avoid sunlight at all costs. Such people survive without sunlight. Additionally, people in high lattitudes have entire months of the year without sunlight and they continue to live. For most people, though, being out of the sun for extended periods of time leads to depression.
What do you think would happen without the sun?
Without the sun, Earth would be in darkness except for minimal light from small stars and the moon. Plants would not survive due to lack of sunlight. Without plants animals would not have food and would also die.
Why is the sun important for food and plants?
Well, different plants need different amounts of sunlight. They need sunlight for photosynthesis, that's how they make their own food. Without sunlight, there would be no photosynthesis, and plants would not survive.
How is sunlight useful to people plants and animals?
Sunlight is very useful to people, plants, and animals. Without sunlight the world would become too cold, it warms the earth. It helps plants to grow, this provides food for people, and animals.
Can you get sunlight in the ocean?
yes sunlight can get in the ocean without sunlight many marine life would not exist
How do clouds affect sunlight sstriking the earth?
the earth would burn if the sun strike the earth
