How does the tilt of earth contribute the occurrence of the seasons?

∙ 9y ago
The tilt in the earth's axis produces the seasons. Due to the tilt, the sun's rays cover a smaller area of the Northern hemisphere in summer, making the rays more direct and hotter . They are diffused over a large area in winter making for less heat from the sun. If the earth were not tilted the sun's rays would be equally direct at all times.

∙ 12y agoWhen one part of the earth is tilted toward the sun, then that part would be warmer than a part further away from the sun. so if the top of the earth is tilted toward the sun (so it is nearer) it will be warmer (Summer/ Spring) then the bottom of the earth would be tilted further away so it would be colder (winter/ Autumn)

∙ 9y agoIt doesn't just "contribute" to the seasons; it is the tilt of the Earth's axis that causes the seasons in the first place!

Why does the earth's orbit determine the seasons?
Now your question is wrong because the earths orbit doesn't contribute to the seasons, its the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth which creates the seasons. The tilt by what i believe was created when the moon was formed, or the godly way when god tilted the earth creating the flood
Property of earth which causes seasons?
The Earth's rotational axial tilt causes the seasons.
Does the Earth's tilt cause the wet and dry seasons experienced in the tropics?
The Earth's tilt does not really cause the wet and dry seasons that are experienced in the tropics. The tilt however can effect the temperature effects of the seasons.
What does Earth's tilt on its own axis cause?
The change in seasons
How would you describe what causes the seasons?
its earths tilt on its axis orbiting the sun
What are four physical factors that contribute to Earth's seasons?
The Earth's tilt causes Earth's seasons. The Earth's orbit around the sun also affects the seasons. Landforms on Earth such as mountains play a part in the seasons as do the earth's oceans.

How do scientists know about the axis of earth?
The axis is an imaginary line drawn thru the north pole and south pole). It helps to understand the occurrence of seasons on Earth. The scientists use the tilt(23.5 degrees) to show how the northern and southern hemispheres get the four seasons. The tilt is always in one direction and as the earth revolves around the Sun we get the seasons on earth.
What makes the earth change seasons?
The Earth's seasons changes by the tilt of the Earth.
Which of these does not contribute to changing seasons angle of incidence of solar radiation tilt of the earth on its axis distance between the earth and sun or revolution of the earth around the sun?
The distance of the Earth from the sun does not contribute to the changing seasons. Although this distance does change (since the Earth's orbit is elliptical, not perfectly circular) the amount of the change is not great enough to affect the seasons. It is the angle of incidence of solar radiation, which in turn is affected by the axial tilt of the Earth and its revolution around the sun, which creates the changing seasons.
Why do you get seasons on the earth?
The tilt of the Earth's axis.
Why is knowing the tilt of the earth's axis important?
The tilt of the Earth's axis is why there are seasons. =)
Is the tilt of the earth partially responsible for the seasons?
Yes the tilt of the Earth does make the seasons longer and shorter. The sun has something to do with it,too. The farther the Earth is, and how long the rotation is , the hotter and longer the season.
What does the earths tilt do normally?
The Earth's tilt is what causes the seasons.
Why is the tilt on earth's axis important?
This tilt is what causes the seasons.
How do seasons changes?
They change by the tilt of the earth's axis!
