Since the Earth is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit around the sun, the parts of the Earth away form the equator receive significantly different amounts of solar heating at different times of the year. The result is the progression of the seasons (summer, autumn, winter, spring). If the Earth were not tilted, we would not have seasons.
What else can I help you with?
Does the tilt of the earth affect global warming?
No, the tilt of the earth gives us seasons, winter and summer, when the earth is tilted away or towards the sun. This has nothing to do with global warming.
Is it bad when a planet is tilted?
No, planets are not bad because they are tilted. The Earth's tilt for example gives us the seasons. Uranus is tilted on its side; Venus is upside-down.
In US what is the season when the southern part of the earth is tiled towards the sun?
My guess is that, Its winter in US when the earth is tilted south to the sun.
Earth is tilted on its axis?
Tilted as compared to what? The only comparison that actually makes any difference is that the Earth's axis of rotation is "tilted" at about 23.5 degrees compared to the ecliptic, which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This "axial tilt" causes the seasons.
Is earth's axis tilted?
yes, by 23.44 degrees. This is what gives us the seasons throughout the year.
What are the reasons that seasons occur in the US?
the Earth rotates on an axis, that axis is tilted with respect to the axis of Earth's orbit, and Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical.
How does movement affect us?
We move with the movement of the Earth, so it doesn't affect us at all. That is why we don't feel the Earth move.
Is summer hotter because earth is closest to the sun during this time?
No. In fact Earth is at its farthest point from the sun in early July and at its closest point in January. Earth's axis of rotation is tilted so relative to its orbit, so each hemisphere is alternately tilted toward and away from the sun. When the northern hemisphere is tilted toward the sun it experiences summer while the southern hemisphere, which is tilted away, experiences winter. When a hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, sunlight strikes the surface there at a steeper angle, so the sunlight is less spread out than it would be hitting at a shallow angle. The more concentrated sunlight results in greater heating.
How do radioactive wastes affect the Earth?
it can kill the earth and even us if there is to much
How do Earth's movements affect the stars?
Because sometimes the stars seem to revolve around us,as a result of earths rotation.Also since the star orion is in the eastern hemispere in the summer you cannot see it because it is tilted towared the sun and if it's tilted to the sun you cant see it because it's bright.And the reason its to bright is because the sun is a big ball of gas and it's hard to see .In the the winter you can see it because it's tilted away from the sun
How can it be that earth is at perihelion during wintertime in the northern hemisphere?
It is - but the northern hemisphere is also tilted awayfrom the sun at that point, giving us wintertime.
What are the different shapes of the moon you see from the earth are called?
Moon phases. As the moon revolves around the earth on its tilted path, (search for diagrams to find out what happens with it tilted) the light from the sun hits the moon and reflects towards earth. But we see a different amount of light and darkness depending on where it is in the orbit. This causes us to see different shapes.
