I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with gravity

What is the earths slant called?

Earth is tilted from it axis


What is the angle of inclination of the Earths axis with its orbital plane what is its effect?

The Earth's axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the orbital plane. Or to put it another way, the Earth's equator is tilted at 23.5 degrees to the Earth's orbital plane. The main effect is to cause the seasons. That's because the tilt affects the amount of sunlight a particular place gets as the Earth orbits the Sun.


What does Earths magnetic axis do not do with its rotational axis?

intersect


Which best describes the parallelism of the earths axis?

The axis is always aimed toward a point in the sky near Polaris :))


What has the earths axis got to do with night and day?

First, envision the plane formed by the earth's orbit, with the sun at it's centre. If the axis of the earth were perpendicular to that plane (that is, at a 90 degree or right angle), then the length of day in places like New York (in the Northern Hemisphere) or Sao Paolo (in the Southern Hemisphere) would be constant year round. And, the equator would lie in the same plane as the earth's orbit. But, in reality, the axis of the earth is not at a 90 degree angle and the plane in which the equator lies is not the same as the earth's orbit. This has the effect that, as the earth orbits the sun, the length of day changes dramatically throughout the year in places like New York and Sao Paolo. While it is winter and days are short in New York, it is summer and days are longer in Sao Paolo. So, the fact that the earth's axis is not perpendicular to the earth's orbital plane is related to changes in day length and the presence of different seasons of weather.

The Coriolis effect is caused by what?

The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth. As the Earth spins on its axis, moving objects are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis force. This effect influences ocean currents, winds, and aircraft flight paths.
