Its axis of rotation were perpendicular to its orbital plane
In that case, there would be hardly any seasons. There would still be slight variations in yearly temperatures, as a result of the fact that Earth is sometimes closer to the Sun.
The Earth's tilt causes Earth's seasons. The Earth's orbit around the sun also affects the seasons. Landforms on Earth such as mountains play a part in the seasons as do the earth's oceans.
mars
Mainly, there would be no seasons.
The biggest impact would be we would not have any seasons. The equator would be heated year round and both north and south poles would shrink.
There would be no seasons on Earth if the Earth's axis had no tilt because throughout the year the Earth would get an equal amount of sun everywhere.
In that case, the seasons would be more pronounced.
If the Earth's axis were not tilted relative to the plane of the ecliptic, we would not have any "seasons" at all.
If the earth's axis were perpendicular to the plane of its orbit, the earth would still have winter and summer as the two main seasons. The two seasons would beÊoccurringÊdaily since the earth would still be rotating but on a perpendicular plane to its orbit.Ê
It would more correct to say that the Earth has seasons because it tilts, rather than saying the Earth tilts to make seasons.
the seasons will change!!
There would be no seasons.
No
Maryland would have no seasons if the Earth were not tilted because the hemispheres would always be in the same place in relation to the sun.
Since the seasons are a result of Earth's tilt and its orbit around the sun, a retrograde rotation would not have a significant impact on the seasons.
well there would be no seasons
No
