no it is sometimes tiltied towards the moon but is it usually tilted towards the sun
_________________________
The Earth is like an enormous gyroscope; it retains its orientation in space. To say that the Earth's axis is "tilted" requires that we specify a plane of reference. In this case, we can say that the Earth's axis is tilted about 23.5 degrees compared to the plane of the ecliptic, which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. So sometimes the north pole of the Earth's axis of rotation is tilted toward the Sun, and at the same time the south pole is tilted away from the Sun. This happens on June 21.
Six months later, the north pole is tilted away from the Sun, and the south pole is tilted toward it, on December 21.
In between times, the Earth's axis is tilted somewhere in between.
What else can I help you with?
When is the sun completally over Earth's axis?
The Sun is over Earth's equator during the equinoxes, which occur around March 20th (spring equinox) and September 22nd (fall equinox) each year. This is when day and night are approximately equal in duration all over the world.
Can a star fall from the sky?
No. The stars are far beyond any noticeable effects of Earth's gravity. The stars are also far larger and more massive than Earth is, so if Earth were ever to run into one it would be more accurate to say that Earth would fall into the star.
How many season does the planet earth have?
Four- Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, then spring again
Can humans survive on earth without the moon?
No, because the moon has something to do with the gravity and pull to the sun, it keeps earth in line, and if the earth moved one single degree off its axis or closer or fartehr from the sun, we ould freeze, or burn up, or fall off the face of the earth!
Can the earth fall from the sky?
No, the Earth can not fall from the sky. That is because the sky is all around the Earth and is really called the atmosphere. If the world would fall for some reason, the sky would fall with it.
Why is there a spring summer and fall?
The tilt of the Earth's axis.
What seasons does the earth have because the earth rotates on its axis?
summer, fall, winter, spring
When there is no tilt of Earth's axis toward the sun the two seasons earth may be experiencing are?
fall or spring
When earth revolves around the sun what happens to the position of earth's axis?
The earth's axis remains fixed, pointing toward the Polaris (the North Star.) The earth is like a huge gyroscope. The axis will always point in the same direction. EXAMPLE: When a bicycle is not moving, it will fall over but when the wheels are spinning, the axles (or the axis) of the wheels remain fixed and hold the bike upright.
How season occur?
seasons are caused by the rotation of earth on its axis
How long does it take for the earth rotate one on its axis?
It takes the earth approx. 1 year to rotate on its axis, because eash season/solsctis is a quarter amd we have 4 of them. Winter,spring, summer, and fall.
What happens if earth rotates in same position?
Your question is unclear. However if the earth keeps rotating on its axis and the orbit around the sun does not then the earth would fall into the sun.
Where are the sun and the earth when it is fall?
During the autumnal equinox (which is usually on September 22), the angle between the Earth's axis and the Earth-Sun line become perpendicular to one another. That is, the axis of the Earth's rotation is not pointed towards or away from the sun, and the length of the day and night become equal.
What causes the different seasons in earth?
Seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth on its axis. When the Southern Hemisphere is facing the sun more directly, it is summer there and winter in the Northern Hemisphere. When the earth is not tilted, it is spring in one place and fall in the other. That was a question on my science test. Weird.
What causes the seasons spring and fall?
The seasons spring and fall are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis and the revolution of the Earth. When it is spring in the U.S, sunlight is evenly distributed to both hemispheres, a little bit more in the U.S. When it is fall, sunlight is evenly distributed to both hemispheres, a little bit less in the U.S.
Do earths rotation on its axis cause eclipse?
No, Earth's rotation on its axis does not cause eclipses. Solar eclipses occur when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking out the Sun's light. Lunar eclipses happen when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Earth's shadow to fall on the Moon.
Could a star ever fall on earth?
simply put: no a star is about the size of our sun, maybe a bit(or a lot) larger or smaller, but if it were to collide with earth, our whole planet would be... absorbed and we would all die
