The tilt of Earth's rotational axis, which is approximately 23.5 degrees, causes the variation in sunlight received at different latitudes throughout the year. This axial tilt is responsible for the changing seasons, as different regions of the planet experience varying degrees of solar illumination during Earth's orbit around the Sun. Consequently, areas near the poles experience extreme variations in daylight and darkness, while the equatorial regions maintain relatively consistent day lengths year-round.

Are the season caused by the tilt of the earths axis?

Yes.


What means the tilt of the earths axis?

In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, or, equivalently, the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane. It differs from orbital inclination.


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.


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)
