If the Earth's axial tilt was 10 degrees then the poles would receive less solar radiation?

The polar regions will receive less radiation. The amount of solar radiation that impacts a particular area of the Earth is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the normal of the surface area and the incoming "ray" of radiation. So if the axial tilt was 0 then the angle of the solar radiation would be 90 degrees, the cosine of 90 is 0.
At 10 degree tilt there will be an increase of ice, snow and glaciation due less solar radiation in summer.

The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?
No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.
Is Earth habitable if its axis is tilted at 90 degrees angle?
It probably wouldn't be habitable, if the Earth's axial "tilt" were 90 degrees.
What is Jupiter's axis tilt?
Axes aren't inclined, they are tilted. Orbital planes are inclined, and Jupiter's is inclined about 6 degrees from the Solar equator. Planes can also be inclined relative to the ecliptic or the invariable plane. Jupiter's axis is tilted about 3 degrees from the ecliptic.
How Radiation mode work in a optical fiber?
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search For an optical fiber or waveguide, a radiation mode or unbound mode is a mode which is not confined by the fiber core. Such a mode has fields that are transversely oscillatory everywhere external to the waveguide, and exists even at the limit of zero wavelength.Specifically, a radiation mode is one for whichwhere β is the imaginary part of the axial propagation constant, integer l is the azimuthal index of the mode, n(r) is the refractive index at radius r, a is the core radius, and k is the free-space wave number, k = 2π/λ, where λ is the wavelength. Radiation modes correspond to refracted rays in the terminology of geometric optics.

Because of the earths axial tilt.
What planet is tilted by 97.77 degrees?
Uranus has an obliquity (axial tilt) of 97.77 degrees.
Does europa have seasons?
No, seasons are produced by axial tilt. Europa has an axial tilt of only 0.1 degrees, which is not enough for seasons.
Does mercury have a axial tilt?
Yup, it's 2.11 degrees.
