Obviously, being closer to the Sun, Earth will get more radiation. But the effect is not very significant.
There would be no seasons. This is because seasons are created by earths tilt.
The oceans have a major effect on climate around the globe.
If there were no tilt then there'd be no seasons. So it has a direct effect.
Because of where each continent is located. North America is north of the Equator, where air patterns (weather) travel from west to east. South America is south of the Equator, where air patterns travel from east to west. This is also due to the force of gravity on Earth. North of the Equator the Coriolis effect is from west to east, while south of the Equator it is reversed.
Because technically he wasn't in space. He was on the edge of Earths atmosphere. so gravity was still in effect.
Earths Rotation The Coriolis effect
No effect at all. However the plane of the equator will be tilted to the same amount as the Earth as compared to the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun. This plane is called "the ecliptic".
Equator has a lower angular deflection of sunlight and therefore warmer temperatures

The Earth's rotation turns the polar high pressure systems westward as they move from the poles (westerlies), and the subtropical high pressure systems eastward as they move toward the equator (tropical easterlies).
The diameter of the earth at the equator is 12,756 kilometers. The earth slightly bulges at the equator slightly elongating the distance.
It's called the 'Coriolis effect'. In the northern hemisphere, they rotate clockwise. South of the equator, they rotate counter-clockwise.
The equators warm air, and the polar cold air.
There would be no four seasons if the earths axis was not titled.
