What would happen to the seasons if the earth was tilted on a different angle?

the seasons will change!!


What creates the season on earth?

The angle of the earth's tilt from the sun causes the Earth's seasons.


How the placement of the sun's light on the earth causes seasons?

we get seasons because the earth is tilted on it s axis in relation to the sun thus as it goes around the sun the angle at which the light strikes the earth changes and the greater the angle the less heat is absorbed by the earth causing the seasons


What angle is the earth spinning at?

The angle between the orbital plane and equatorial plane of the earth (i.e., the angle of axial tilt) is about 23.4 degrees. This gives rise to the earth's seasons.


What do seasons depend on?

Seasons depend on the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. The angle of the Sun's rays hitting the Earth's surface changes throughout the year, causing different parts of the Earth to receive more or less sunlight, resulting in seasons.


Why are seasons different neat the equator from seasons near the North Pole?

Because of the angle of Earth on it's axis


What is the cause of the four seasons in the countries?

The rotation of the earth around the sun and the angle of the rotation of the earth itself.


What causes the different seasons on Earth?

The way heat energy reflects off of Earth because of the angle at which it hits


How might the four seasons vary if the angle of earth's tilt were only 5 degrees?

The differences of the seasons would scarcely be detectable.


What is the angle between the equator and the plane of orbit of earth?

23.5 degrees, the same as the "tilt" of Earth's rotational axis in space, the cause of the seasons.


Which of these does not contribute to changing seasons angle of incidence of solar radiation tilt of the earth on its axis distance between the earth and sun or revolution of the earth around the sun?

The distance of the Earth from the sun does not contribute to the changing seasons. Although this distance does change (since the Earth's orbit is elliptical, not perfectly circular) the amount of the change is not great enough to affect the seasons. It is the angle of incidence of solar radiation, which in turn is affected by the axial tilt of the Earth and its revolution around the sun, which creates the changing seasons.


What would happen if the earth was tilted 30 degrees?

If the earth was not tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees, there would not be the different seasons.
