What else can I help you with?
Why are the time zones not all straight lines?
Because the Earth is tilted on its axis. Therefore, sunlight doesn't always hit in the same spot all the time, so time zones have to be out of proportion.
Why does the area around the equator stay same temperature year round?
The equator faces always the sun wheather the earth is tilted to the north or south. This causes the earth to stay the same temperature all time.
Are the temperatures at all points along the earth's equator the same?
No they are not all the same temperature but it is warm.
How the season are related to earth orbit around the sun?
We go through all four seasons each time we go round the Sun once. The Earth has a tilted axis so the north is tilted twards the Sun in summer, and away in winter.
What effect does the earths tilt have on the equator?
No effect at all. However the plane of the equator will be tilted to the same amount as the Earth as compared to the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun. This plane is called "the ecliptic".
If Earth was tilted at a different angle how would that affect Mercury?
Not at all.
Why is the tilt of earth on it axis important?
it is important because if it was not tilted there would not be seasons see the earths axis faces the same way all the time each side of the earth (north pole and south pole) are tilted different ways at the same time on toward the sun causing the death of many children and one away from the sun causing winter ( summer solstice and winter solstice) when the earth is in other places in its revolution around the sun it creates fall and spring ( autumnal equinox and vernal equinox) so if it was not tilted it would be spring or fall all of the time i know this because we are learning about this in my science class Without it there would be no seasons, no changes to the length of the day, some regions of the earth would be un-inhabitable as they would be in permanent darkness.
How is the earth tilted in winter?
In the same direction it tilts all year round, with respect to the orbital plane. The seasons come from the apparent effect of change of angle given by the Earth's orbit. The axis does precess, but that is very gradual, not an annual movement.
Does Earth have a tilted orbit?
No. The Earth's orbit is absolutely parallel to the plane of the ecliptic. Of course, the Earth's orbit is DEFINED as the plane of the ecliptic, so this should be no surprise. All of the other planetary orbits are tilted to the plane of the ecliptic, but not by a whole lot. The Moon's orbit, for example, is tilted about 5 degrees to the ecliptic. The axis of the Earth's spin, however, IS tilted by 23.5 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic.
Why is time equal to us all?
Time is same to us because the roatation of earth is same for all and we live in the same planet.
When the north pole is tilted towards the sun it is what in northern hemisphere?
More direct rays and longer days (summer).
Why does it stay light 24 hours a day in the tundra in the middle of July?
During the summer months, the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the Arctic Circle (which includes parts of the tundra) to experience 24 hours of daylight in what is known as the Midnight Sun phenomenon. This occurs because the region is tilted towards the sun, allowing it to remain above the horizon throughout the day and night.
