In what two ways does the tilt of the earth's axis affect earth conditions?

Tilt combines with the earth's non-circular orbit to produce weather changes that can cycle as long as 125K years. That is why we are seeing polar ice loss in the north and polar ice growth in the south.
The tilt also creates what we call a hole in the ozone layer. The tilt prevents the rays of the sun from hitting the ozone layer which causes the ozone to thin out.

∙ 12y agoEarth has seasons because its axis is tilted as it revolves around the sun. It is summer because the north end of Earth's axis is tilted toward the sun. The changes of seasons is not caused by Earth's distance from the sun. In fact, Earth is farthest from the sun when it is summer in the Northern hemisphere

How does the tilt of earths axis and its rotation affect the weather?
The same way it affects most of earth. The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis relative to the plane of its orbit.
How Does the tilt of earths axis affect the number of daylight hours and the temperature of a location on earths?
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.
What angle is Earth's axis tilted with respect to Earths orbit?
The season
How does earths orbit affect it's tilted hemispheres?
Well the earth has an imaginary axis going from pole to pole through the middle of the earth called the axis of rotation. This axis is tilted with respect to the orbital plane of the Earth around the Sun. This tilt is the cause of the seasons which are most noticeable far from the equator.
How might earths climates be different if earths were not tilted on its axis?
Earth's climates might be different because they won't be the same
Does the earths magnetic field cause the earth to tilt?
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.
How does the tilt of earths axis and its rotation affect the weather?
The same way it affects most of earth. The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis relative to the plane of its orbit.
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if earth were to not be rotating on its axis?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
Why does Earths inner core solid?
The Earth's rotation on its axis
What is the Imaginary rod on which the earth rotate?

The spinning of the Earth on its axis is called?
RotationThe spinning of the Earth on its axis is known as 'the Earths rotation'Rotation.Rotating.rotation (as opposed to orbiting, which describes the earth's movements around the sun)
What does earths tilted axis affect?
Seasons And Climate
Why are the seasons reversed in the northern and southern hemisphere?
Because Earths axis is tilted.
How are poles of earth fixed?
By the axis of earths rotation
What is the earths slant called?
Earth is tilted from it axis
What is meant by the Inclination of the Earths Axis?
the earth spins on an imaginary line called axis.
How far is earths magnetic axis tilted from its geographic axis?
The Earth's magnetic field is tilted about 11.5 degrees from the Earth's axis of rotation (i.e. its geographic axis).
