How does the tilt of Earth's axis affect the temperatures on Earth?

It is the fact that the earth's axis of rotation in slightly inclined (a bit less than 23.5 degrees) relative to its orbital plane that gives rise to the seasons and to seasonal changes here on earth.

What role does the earths axis play in rotation and revolution?
The axis is what the Earth rotates around, like the axis on a wheel.
What is the importance of the inclination of the earth axis?
This titled position of the earths axis is known as inclination of the earths axis. The earth's rotation axis makes an angle of about 66.5 degrees with the plane of its orbit around the sun, or about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the ecliptic plane.
The Coriolis effect is caused by what?
the Earths rotation
If the Earth's axis was not tilted?
the earth would be weird.
What are the two factors that cause the earth's seasons?
rotation of earth -earth is at a tilt so sometimes some parts get more sun then others rotation around the sun -earth will be at different distances from the sun as it rotates around
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 axis
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.
Why are temperatures mild during equinox?
The earths axis is not tilted directly toward the sun.
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.
