without the tilted axis the whole planet would be impossible to live on since this angle is a state of equilibrium

Did the earthquake in Chile cause the earth axis to be tilted?
What? No...the earths axis has been tilted for hundreds of millions if not billions of years. If your question is: Did the earthquake in Chile cause a variation in the tilt of the earth's axis? Then the answer is yes, very slightly, but noticeable.
Do Jupiter have a very tilted axis?
Jupiter's axis has been tilted at a slight 3 degrees. it is hardly noticable
What are the effects of the movement earth around the sun?
the revolution of the earth along with the tilt in the earths axis causes: varying lenghts of day and night changing seasons if the earths axis were straightvand not tilted there would be no seasons,since every point on the earth would recieve the same amount of light each day of the year.nor would there have been any variation in the lenghts of day and night-they would lost 12 hours each.
When the earth tilted on its axis recently how far and why?
The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.5 degrees compared to the plane of the Earth's orbit, also called the "ecliptic". As far as we know, it has been at this angle for billions of years; probably since the impact with a "rogue" planet that created the Moon about 4 billion years ago.
Has Uranus always been tilted?
No Uranus has not always been tilted, but it was tilted very long time ago in the early solar system years.
How many degrees is the earth's axis tilted?
In relationship to its plane of orbit around the sun, the planet Mercury's axis is virtually perpendicular. However, it has been determined that its axis is very, very slightly tilted from the perpendicular, by about 2.11′ ± 0.1′i.e. 2.11 minutes, plus or minus 0.1 of a minute.(A 'minute' in this context of angular measurement is one 60th of a a degree)See Related links for details.
What is the planet that tips over so far that it rotates on its axis?
All Planets spin on their axis, the axis by definition is the line that a planet spins about. Uranus, one of the four gas giants, is tilted on its side by 98 degrees. This is thought to have been a result from a collision long ago in the early solar system.
Why do astronomers think that Uranus may have been hit by another object billions of years ago?
Because its axis of rotation is on its side. Earth tilts at about 23.5° whereas Uranus is tilted at close to 98°.
What is the earths axis and what does it cause?
The earth's axis is imaginary, and it doesn't cause anything. You have a ball that's spinning without wobbling, and as you watch it spinning, you mentally imagine that it's spinning on a pencil that has been stuck through it. The imaginary line that runs up the center of that imaginary pencil is called the axis of rotation.
Has the earth tilted over?
The Earth has always been 'tilted'. The planet is tilted by about 11 degrees from the vertical. The tilt helps to create the seasons - and is responsible for the varying length of day & night.
Did the earths axis tilt in 2004?
Yes, but it does, more or less, EVERY year. During the course of the year, the Earth moves 360 degrees around the Sun, and at one point it does, sort-of, "line up" with the Sun and the center of the Milky Way, which is in Sagittarius.
Has the earth always been tilted 23.5 degrees?
yes
