It is completely over the axis when we have an equinox. Like the Fall and Spring equinox's.

Is the north end of Earths axis tilted away from the sun during an equinox?
No. The Earth's axis is directly overhead at the Equator, therefore the axis isn't north or south on the Equinox.
During summer which way is the earths axis tilted?
depends on which hemisphere you live if on top it is towards the sun
What is the semi-major axis of the Earths orbit around the Sun?
The maximum amount of an ellipse is called its major axis, and half of this distance is the semi major axiswhich is usually used to give the size of an ellipse. The semi major axis of Earths orbit, for example, is 150 million kilometers. It represents the average distance between the Earth and the sun and is called astronomical unit, or one AU
What affects seasonal change more Earth's tilted axis or the distance to the sun during Earths orbit?
seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth. since the earth is in a slight eliptical orbit around the sun, when we are closer to the sun in January is where the northern hemisphere will still have winter and further from the sun in July when summer occurs. this is expected to flip in 26,000 years because of earths 3rd axis known as axial precession
Does the earths revolution around the sun causes the sun to rise in the east and set in the west everyday?
No, the Earth's revolution around the sun is not related to the rising and setting of the sun on a daily basis, which is caused by the Earth's rotation on its axis.
What makes night?
The earths rotates on it's axis away from the sun.
In winter which end of the earths axis is tilted away from the sun?
south
What two things causes the earths four seasons?
The Earth rotates on its axis causing either the North or South Hemishere to tilt towards the sun which ever hemishere is tilted toward the sun it is probably spring or summer.
What is the factor responsible for seasons?
Earths tilted axis and its revolution around the sun
What is earths rotation on its axis and the sun shining on the earth creates?
day and night
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
How is the earths axis tilted when the northern hemisphere?
The axis of the Earth is tilted 23.5 degress from the plane of the orbit round the sun.
How would you describe what causes the seasons?
its earths tilt on its axis orbiting the sun
What two things cause the seasons to change on earth?
There are two things that cause it which are the earths orbit and thetilt of the earths axis.
When the south end of earths the axis is tilted toward the sun?
it is winter in the northern hemisphere
Why are temperatures mild during equinox?
The earths axis is not tilted directly toward the sun.
Why is the sun higher in the sky in the the summer and lower in the winter?
why the sun is higher in summer is because the earths top of the axis is pointed to the sun which makes this hotter and in winter the axis is pointed away from the sun which makes it colder
