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.
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.
Does the suns revolutions cause the seasons?
no. the earths orbit cause the seasons
What is The actual shape of earths orbit around the sun is described as?
Ellipse.
What angle is Earth's axis tilted with respect to Earths orbit?
The season
What is the earths axis parallel to?
orbit of the moon
Is the earths orbit around the sun highly elliptical or almost circular?
The earths orbit around the sun is almost circular.
The planet that has an axis of rotation that is almost parallel to the plane of its orbit is?
Your Anus lol im f*ckin wit cha. it's Uranus doe.
What change would occur if earths rate of rotation significantly decreased?
the orbit
Is Earth's axis of rotation is almost parallel to the plane of its orbit.?
No, the Earth's axis of rotation is at a twenty three and a half degree angle to the plane of its orbit, which is closer to being perpendicular than it is to being parallel. This 23.5 degree "axial tilt" are responsible for, among other things, our seasons.
Is the earths orbits around the the sun highly elliptical or almost circular?
The earths orbit around the sun is almost circular.
Is the earths rotation a scientific fact?
it is. the orbit of the earth has been recorded by sattelites and other probes.
What is the compression of the earths orbit around the sun?
The Earth's orbit is almost circular. Technically, the "eccentricity" of the orbit is about 0.0167.
What is parallel in geography?
It is a circle drawn around the globe parallel to the equator and at right angles to the meridians.
Two reasons for seasons?
1. Tilt of earths axis 2. Earths axis remains parallel throughout its yearly orbit.
What is the approximate compression of the earths orbit around the sun?
The Earth's orbit is almost circular. Technically, the "eccentricity" of the orbit is about 0.0167.
Does the earths rotation cause the sun to remain in orbit?
No. Earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. Earth's orbit depends on the mass of the sun, not Earth's rotation. Earth's rotation does, however, give the appearance that celestial objects revolve around it.
