How does the tilt of earth's axis affect the number of daylights hours and the temperature of a location on earth?
The tilt on Earth's axis affects the angle at which light from the Sun arrives. Light arriving at an acute or low angle is weaker than light arriving more directly, say, at 90 degrees to a tangent on the Earth's surface. This is why the tropics are hotter; more direct incident solar radiation results in a greater heating effect. Since the Earth rotates on this axis, an effect becomes apparent where you would have more hours of daylight at the point on the Earth where the angle to the Sun is more direct, and fewer hours of night-time, and the opposite effect in the other hemisphere where the angle of the Sun is less favorable - more hours of night, and fewer of daylight. This tilt is what give rise to the seasons: since the Earth also revolves around the Sun in its orbit but the tilt is still oriented in the same direction, the hemisphere with more hours of sunlight will swap. At the very extremes at the poles, it's possible to have entire days of nothing but sunlight or darkness for half a year because of the Earth's tilt.

How Does the tilt of earths axis affect the number of daylight hours and the temperature of a location on earths?
If the Earth's axis was vertical - every point on its surface would have the same length of day and night, no matter what time of year it was. The tilt of the axis (to about 11 degrees) means that, as the Earth rotates, and travels around the sun, the length of day shortens and lengthens throughout the year.
How changes in earths tilt would affect seasonal patterns?
If there were no tilt then there'd be no seasons. So it has a direct effect.
How does the tilt of earths axis and its rotation affect the weather?
The same way it affects most of earth. The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth's axis relative to the plane of its orbit.
Over time the wobble in earths rotation will change what effect will this have?
The effect this has is that the location in the sky of the North Celestial Pole is constantly moving. The amount of change over the course of a human lifetime is not perceptible to people who don't make calibrated astronomical measurements.
Is the climate colder in winter than in summer because the earth is farther from the sun in its orbit?
no, the tilt of the earth means you are further away on the earth
What are five factors that affect the type of soil in a particular area?
- Oceans - Latitude - Altitude - Topography - Earths Winds
Does the distance from the sun affect the earth's temperature?
Because of the Earths atmosphere, the distance from the Sun, does not affect the temperature on the surface of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, we are closer to the Sun in winter and the furthest away in summer.
How does the increase in carbon dioxide emissions affect the earths natural cycle of temperature cycle?
It raises the temperature and makes it hotter through the greenhouse effect.
How does earths water and land temperature affect the weather?
The color of the water is dark, therefore, it absorbs the sun's rays.
How does temperature of earths crust compare to the temperature of earths interior?
it depends on the deepth
What do changes in Earths orbit affect?
earths tempertures
How a change in the earths orbit can affect the earths climate?
earths tempertures
What is the earths temperature range in celsius?
The Earth's temperature range can vary greatly depending on the location and time of year. On average, Earth's temperature ranges from about -50°C in Antarctica to about 50°C in hot desert regions.
How Does the tilt of earths axis affect the number of daylight hours and the temperature of a location on earths?
If the Earth's axis was vertical - every point on its surface would have the same length of day and night, no matter what time of year it was. The tilt of the axis (to about 11 degrees) means that, as the Earth rotates, and travels around the sun, the length of day shortens and lengthens throughout the year.
What is a variable gas in Earths atmosphere?
Water vapor is a variable gas in Earth's atmosphere. Its concentration can vary depending on factors such as temperature, location, and weather patterns.
What is earths temperature today?
it is 65
How does the temperature of earths crust change going layer to layer?
The temperature of Earth's crust increases as you go deeper due to geothermal gradient. It varies depending on factors such as location and tectonic activity, but on average, the temperature increases by about 25 to 30 degrees Celsius per kilometer depth. The temperature difference can affect the physical and chemical properties of rocks and minerals found in each layer of the Earth's crust.
