More or less. A rotating object has the tendency to maintain its rotation, including the direction of the rotation axis. However, Earth's axis changes over time, much like a spinning top; read about "Precession" for more details. In the case of Earth, a full cycle takes about 26,000 years.
What else can I help you with?
Is the earth always tilted the same way during the orbit?
yes
Is the earth always tilted the same way during is orbit?
yes
Is it true seasons are a result of earth's tilted orbit?
No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
Why don't lunar eclipses occur during every lunar cycle?
The earth's orbit of the sun and the moon's orbit of the earth are not on the same plane; one of the two orbits is tilted about five degrees with respect to the other, so the moon usually misses the earth's shadow.
Is the moons orbit in the same 3d plane as earths orbit?
No. For one thing, a plane is, by definition, 2-dimensional. The moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit.
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.
How large is the angle between the Earth's orbit and the moon's orbit?
The Moon's orbit is tilted about 5.145 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic, Earth's orbital plane around the Sun. (The tilt is between 18.3 degrees and 28.6 degrees to Earth's equator.) If you want an answer for your homework or whatever, the answer is about a 5 degree angle between the Moon's orbit and the Earth's orbit. -My source is; Page 27, Chapter 1, Section 2, of the Science Explorer-ASTRONOMY Text book.
How does the earth rotate and revolve around the sun at the same time?
It is due to sun's gravitational force that forms an orbit for earth's revolution, and earth rotates due to its axis,which is slightly tilted.
Where is the earth's moon during the night?
In orbit, same as it is during the day as well.
Why do we experience summer around one side of the sun?
We experience summer around one side of the sun due to Earth's tilted axis. This tilt causes one hemisphere to receive more direct sunlight during its orbit around the sun, resulting in higher temperatures and longer days - the summer season. As Earth moves in its orbit, the opposite hemisphere experiences winter.
Why does earth have sesons?
The Earth's orbit does NOT affect the seasons..Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets.It is the tilt of Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit) that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
Why don't lunar eclipses occur on all full moon days?
The geometric plane that contains the earth's orbit around the sun and the geometric plane that contains the moon's orbit around the earth are not the same plane. The plane of the moon's orbit is tilted compared with the plane of earth's orbit. If the two planes were co-planar (if they overlapped perfectly) then there would be a lunar eclipse every month.
