There would be no seasons. No Winter, No Summer. The days/nights would be of the same length.

The axial tilt that gives us seasons varies between 28 degrees and 21 degrees. Currently, it is 23.5 degrees and reducing towards 21 degrees. This is called precssion, and takes thousands of years to complete one precessive cycle.

So the seasons and daylight hours will vary according to the angle of precession.

NB Note it is PRECESSION , not 'procession.

NNB Any spinning object undergoes precssion. Check a child's spinning top of a spinning gyro. Notice how they 'wobble' when spinning; the Earth does exactly the same.

What is the earth slightly tilted on?

The Earth is tilted on its axis at approximately 23.5 degrees. This tilt is what causes the change in seasons as different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.


How are solstice and equinox related to the position of earths axis?

Definition of solstice: two days of the year on which the noon sun is directly overhead at either 23.5 south or 23.5 north. I dont know about equinox but i know how solstice is related..So my answer is.... It's related to the earths axis because when the earth is rotating the sun hits north and south but not really at the same time. So that's why north or south would be 23.5 degrees .


Earths axial tilt is how many degree s to the plane of th ecliptic?

The earth's axis is tilted to 23.48 degrees to the ecliptic plane


Earths axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degreeswhat is one change you would see on earth if its axis was not tilted?

There would be many changes. First there would be only one season all the time with minor differences when Earth is at perihelion and aphelion. The time of sunrise and sunset would not change and at the equator there would be 12h or night and day.


How does the til of earths axis cause the seasons?

The tilt of Earth's axis causes the seasons by affecting the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface. When one hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, it receives more direct sunlight and experiences summer, while the opposite hemisphere is tilted away and experiences winter. As Earth orbits the sun, the tilt causes the seasons to change.
