The axis of the Earth points towards the star Polaris (or almost). It points in that direction during your entire lifetine (or almost) it takes 23000 years for the axis to make one giant precession around a circle. During all this time the angle the axis makes with the ecliptic (the plane in which the orbit of the Earth has around the Sun) remains about 23,5 degrees. And the seasons have cycled through their changes twenty-three thousand times.
The axis does NOT remain fixed until the seasons are about to change then abruptly shift to a new position for the next season only to remain fixed at that position until a new abrupt change for the next season as the wording of your question implies.
What else can I help you with?
Is sunrise earlier in the summer or winter summer?
Sunrise is earlier in the summer than in the winter. In the summer months, the days are longer due to the tilt of the Earth's axis towards the sun, resulting in earlier sunrises.
What angle is the earth in the winter?
The Earth is at the same angle, summer or winter. In winter the nearest pole to you is facing slightly away from the sun as the Earth moves in its orbit, in summer your nearest pole faces slightly towards the sun.
Why is knowing the tilt of the earth's axis important?
Knowing the tilt of the Earth's axis is important because it causes the change in seasons. This tilt is responsible for the variations in sunlight and temperature differences that create summer and winter. Understanding the tilt helps in predicting climate patterns and agricultural seasons.
How do sunset times change between summer and winter?
Sunset times occur later in summer and earlier in winter due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In summer, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, leading to longer days and later sunsets. In winter, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, resulting in shorter days and earlier sunsets.
Does the seasonal cycle occurs because Earth is closer to the sun in the summer than in the winter?
The Earth rotates on it's axis. In the summer, the Earth is tilted towards the sun. In the winter, the Earth is titled away from the sun. On the Earth, the northern regions (above the equator) have winter, while the southern regions (below the equator) have summer. Then, the opposite becomes true. The southern regions have winter, while the norther regions have summer. The distance nearer and farther from the sun makes no difference as far as the Earth's summer and winter is concerned.
How would temperatures in winter and summer change if the earth was tilted more on its axis?
when it's cold it would be tilted when its summer its Straight :)
What is the two things that is responsible for the change in climate from summer to winter?
The tilt of the Earth's axis and direct and indirect sunlight
What causes the winter and summer solstices?
Thr tilt of the Earth's axis .
What seasons does the earth have because the earth rotates on its axis?
summer, fall, winter, spring
How the temperatures in winter and summer would change if the earth was tilted even more on its axis?
The winters will be even colder and the summers will be hotter.
How season occur?
seasons are caused by the rotation of earth on its axis
Why is there more heat in the summer than in the winter?
because of the earth's tilt on its axis
What is one change you would see n earth if its axis was not tilted?
well it wouldnt have no solstice at all no summer no winter no fall and no spring
Why do temperatures in the region change little from summer to winter?
It is all about the tilt of the Earth's axis. Many people believe that the temperature changes because the Earth is closer to the sun in summer and farther from the sun in winter. In fact, the Earth is farthest from the sun in July and is closest to the sun in January!
Why is the sun higher in the sky in summer and lower in the winter?
Because of the tilt of Earth's axis.
What causes the temperature between summer and winter?
Our proximity to the Sun - and the tilt in the Earth's axis.
What change does the axis cause on the earth?
It gives the earth it's seasons, more daylight and warmer weather in summer months and less daylight and colder temperatures in the winter months.
