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.

When the north end of earths rotation axis is pointing toward the sun what statement is true?
It is June.
How does earths orbit affect it's tilted hemispheres?
Well the earth has an imaginary axis going from pole to pole through the middle of the earth called the axis of rotation. This axis is tilted with respect to the orbital plane of the Earth around the Sun. This tilt is the cause of the seasons which are most noticeable far from the equator.
What causes the 24 hour change in the sky?
earth completes a full rotation on its axis and thats why we have day and night because of much direct light earths getting from the sun
Is the earths axis rotation almost parallel to the plane of its orbit?
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
Why do the hours of daylight increase in the summer?
The earths rotational axis is tilted approx. 23 degrees from vertical The earths rotational axis remains parallel throughout its rotation around the sun, high summer (longest day) in the northern hemisphere, is when the top of the axis is at full tilt toward the sun. (shortest day in the southern hemisphere)
Does the earths magnetic field cause the earth to tilt?
No. Earth's magnetic field does not affect its axis of rotation.
The Coriolis effect is caused by what?
the Earths rotation
Why does Earths inner core solid?
The Earth's rotation on its axis
What is one complete spin on earths axis called?
That's "rotation".
How are poles of earth fixed?
By the axis of earths rotation
Is earths spinning on its axis is called rotation?
yes
Is the moon slowing earths rotation axis?
no and yes
What causes the Coriolanus effect?
Earths rotation around its axis
What role does the earths axis play in rotation and revolution?
The axis is what the Earth rotates around, like the axis on a wheel.
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if earth were to not be rotating on its axis?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
What can earth's axis of rotation be used to establish?
earths patterns of nature
What is length of earths rotation on its axis?
23hours 56minutes 4seconds (rounded)
