Why are summer days longer than winter days on earth?
This happens because the Earth is tilted 23.4 degrees. This tilt is the reason that days are longer in the summer and shorter in the winter. The hemisphere that's tilted closest to the Sun has the longest, brightest days because it gets more direct light from the Sun's rays.
If the Earth goes around the Sun why is the ecliptic not lined up with the celestial equator?
It's because the Earth's axis is tilted. Therefore the plane of the equator is tilted (at about 23.5 degrees) away from the plane of the Earth's orbit. Therefore the celestial equator is tilted away from the ecliptic.
Why autumn and spring seasons occur in opposite hemispheres alternately?
Because - the Earth is tilted on its axis - by about 11 degrees. This means that, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away. This - combined with the position of the sun in its orbit around the Sun - creates our seasons.
Has the earth always been tilted 23.5 degrees?
yes
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).
How many degrees off axis is the earth tilted?
The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees
What the tilted axis on the Earth?
The Earth's axis is tilted by about 23.5 degrees.
Is the earth perfectly balance if not why is it not?
No because it is tilted on an axis of about 23.5 degrees
The earth is tilted at an angle of?
If you are talking about the Earth than it is 23.5 degrees on its tilt.
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.
How many degrees is the earth tilted on it axis?
The earth is always tilted on its axis. It is about 23.5o
How many degrees are earth tilted?
23.5 degrees.
If the earth is rotating vertically then why is the sun setting downwards?

What is tilted at 23.5 degrees?
Earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the Sun.
Why is there a summer winter and spring and fall?
We have seasons because the Earth is tilted by 23 degrees.
How many degrees is planet earth tilted?
23.5 degrees
Why is Uranus the only planet tilted on its side?
This is not actually the case. All of the planets are tilted. Uranus just happens to be tilted more than any of the others. The Earth, for example is actually tilted 23.5 degrees from the vertical. Uranus is tilted 98 degrees from the vertical, making its north pole point towards the sun.
