If the earth was not tilted there would be no changes in seasons throughout the year. The change in seasons on the Earth is caused by the tilting of the Earth on its axis, and the Earth revolving around the Sun. The sun is not tilted.

What are the days when earth is not tilted toward or away from the sun?

The Earth is always tilted - this doesn't change. What changes is which part is on a perpendicular plane to the incident rays of solar energy. I believe you are asking about the equinoxes, when there is 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night for one 24 hour period.


What are spring and autumnal equinoxes?

An autumnal equinox is when the day is just as long as the night and the days are getting shorter. This happens in late September for northern hemisphere and in late March for southern hemisphere. It is different in the two hemispheres because of the Earth's revolution around the sun.


How does axial tilt affect the length of day and night?

Axial tilt, or obliquity, affects the length of day and night by influencing the distribution of sunlight across the Earth's surface throughout the year. When one hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, it experiences longer days and shorter nights, while the opposite hemisphere has shorter days and longer nights. This variation leads to the changing seasons, with more extreme differences in day length occurring at higher latitudes compared to the equator. Consequently, during solstices, some locations may experience continuous daylight or darkness for extended periods.

How does the length of daytime and night time affects the seasons?

The length of daylight or nighttime hours does not affect the seasons, but the seasons affect the length of daytime and nighttime hours. During the summer, the earth is tilted more toward the sun, resulting in longer daytime hours. During the winter months, the earth is tilted away from the sun, resulting in shorter days and longer nights.


What would be the earth's length of days and night if it's axis were not tilted?

well the answer tp that is the earths length of days would be like mars which would go on for weeks. so 24 hours as we know it now would be 4 weeks if the axis wasnt tilted t

Is it daytime or nighttime when earth is tilted towards the sun?

The tilt of the Earth causes the seasons, not day or night. Day or night are caused by the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
