It can't. The Earth is like an enormous gyroscope; it cannot tilt more or less without some titanic external force doing it, and the force required would most likely cause catastrophic damage to the planet. The tilt of the Earth does naturally vary slightly over time; this motion is called nutation. It's a fairly complicated motion with many terms; the largest one amounts to a change of about 17 arc-seconds (about 1/200th of a degree) over a period of 18.6 years.

No. If anything, it is getting further away.


Why will Pluto have a longer solar year than earth?

Because it's further away from the Sun. The further away you are from the centre of anything - the longer it takes for you to travel once around it.


What will happen if the gravitational force around the sun goes down?

Then the earth, with all of the other planets, will move further away from the sun.


Is earth farther away from the sun in the winter?

no, the tilt of the earth means you are further away on the earth


Is the sun farther away from the earth in winter?

no, the tilt of the earth means you are further away on the earth


Over millions of years the moon is moving further away from the earth what will happen to the gravitational attraction between the moon and the earth as the moon gets further away?

As the moon gets further and further away, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon decreases. Because the Moon is not being attracted but being pushed away from the Earth. If the gravitational force would have increased, the moon would come closer and closer to the Earth.


Why does the earth have fall?

The Earth has different seasons because it orbits around the sun making it further away during different times of the year. Earth has fall as it moves further away from the suns energy.


Is the moon moving closer to the Earth or farther away?

The moon is moving further away by 1.5cm from the Earth every year.

It's further away.


What happen to the force of gravity when you get further from the earth?

As you get further away from Earth, the gravitational forces between you and Earth decrease. But the gravitational forces between you and something else might increase, like between you and the moon, or between you and the sun.
