Technically, the earth's axis is always tilted. There are wobbles in the earth's spin that follow extremely long cycles and that wouldn't be part of our practical experience of earth's movement. However, you are pointing to something interesting. While the tilt is still really there, there are two momentsin the year, the equinoxes, when the center of the sun is exactly in the earth's equatorial plane. At these moments, conditions are much as they would be if there were no tilt in our axis. The vernal equinox (March in the north and September in the south) is the beginning of spring, and the autumnal equinox (September in the north and March in the south) marks the beginning of autumn.

If the Earth's axis was not tilted?
the earth would be weird.
What does Earth's tilted axis mainly affect?
Seasons And Climate
What causes different seasons to occur?
earth's orbit around the sun The earth's axis is tilted by 23.45 degrees and this means that different parts of the globe receive varying amounts of sunlight during the year, creating the seasons
which of the following is the cause for the different seasons on earth?
the way earth has a tilted axis
Which of the following is the cause for the difference seasons on earth?
the way earth has a tilted axis
What is an important factor in explaining why seasons occur on Earth Earth rotates on its axis The Sun rotates on its axis Earth's axis is tilted The Sun's axis is tilted?
The seasons are caused by the fact that the Earth's axis is tilted. As the Earth travels around the sun, the hemisphere that is tilted toward the sun changes. Whenever your hemisphere is pointed toward the sun, it is summer in your hemisphere.
What are the reasons that seasons occur in the US?
the Earth rotates on an axis, that axis is tilted with respect to the axis of Earth's orbit, and Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical.
Why don't we have seasons if the axis is tilted?
On the contrary, we have seasons precisely because the Earth's axis is tilted.
What if the earth was not tilted on its axis?
if the earth wasn't on tilted on it's axis there wouldn't be any seasons
What if the earth's axis was tilted on its side?
In a way, the Earth's axis IS tilted on its side, that's why we have seasons.
Seasons occur because earth's axis is tilted what degree from perpendicular to its plane of orbit?
23.5°
Earth would have a seasons if its axis wasn't tilted?
No
What planet has a tilted axis causes seasons?
Earth
What would be the effect on earth if the axis was not tilted?
no seasons
What planet has tilted on your axis which gives you seasons?
earth
What would be the effect on earth if the planets axis were not tilted?
There would be no four seasons if the earths axis was not tilted.
How are seasons caused by earth?
It is a result of the way the earth is tilted on its axis
