Suppose the earths axis had no tilt would there still be seasons?
If the Earth stopped tilting on its axis, we would not have our seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
What factors contributes to earths seasons?
The earth's seasons are caused by the rotating earth tilting on its axis as it orbits round the sun. This tilting causes the sunlight to strike the earth at a low angle, causing winter in the hemisphere tilted away from the sun. Meanwhile, the hemisphere tilted towards the sun, receives the sunlight more directly, causing summer in the hemisphere tilted towards the sun.
What explains the fact that different places on earth have different seasons at the same time of theyear?
Different places experience different climates on Earth because of the Earth's tilting at a certain angle. As Time goes by, and the earth keeps rotating, the angle of its appearance towards the sun keeps changing, which explains why different places experience different climates
Do certain areas on earth experience nonstop daylight for six months of the year because of the earth's axis?
Yes but only at the north and south poles
What is the earth's axis and where is it located?
The Earths axis is an imaginary line that extends from the physical North pole through the Earth to the physical South pole. Physical poles not magnetic poles. Why the axis is important to us is because the Earth is tilted 23 degrees on this axis in relation to the plane of rotation around the Sun, causing us to experience the different season due to the angle of the suns rays impacting the Earth during the year.

What is tilting on its axis of earth?
the seasons either get colder or warmer, depending on the tilt of the axis.
How does the tilting of earths axis effect the earth?
it creates the seasons.
What happens to the poles if the earth stops tilting on its axis?
Very little - just colder.
What evidence is there that distance from the sun is not a cause of the seasons?
It is the tilting of the Earth on its axis that causes the seasons, not the distance from the Sun.
What evidence is there that the distance of the sun is not the cause of the seasons?
It is the tilting of the Earth on its axis that causes the seasons, not the distance from the Sun.
How can the sun sets in winter and rises in winter?
its the tilting of earth on its axis and you should have learned that in 5th grade if you went
What does the earths tilted axis cause?
The tilting of the Earth on its axis exposes the planet to different levels of sunlight, this in turn causes temperature variations and results in what is known as seasons.
How does earths tilt on its axis lead to seasonal changes?
Earth's tilting on its axis leads to seasonal changes due variations in the angle (rather than distance) at which light hits.
Why does earth receive a different amount of radiation?
If you mean radiation as in sunlight, then the axis tilting from season to season would probably explain that.
Why does the earth experience day and night every?
Earth rotates on its axis.
What is the cause for the difference seasons on earth?
The earth tilted on its axis as it is spinning and when it orbits the sun one pole is nearer the sun at one time and further away half a year later creating summer then winter, in between are spring and autumn. Whereas the opposite would be in effect for the other pole being closet to the sun when the opposite is furthest away at that point in the year. This concept can be transfered to different parts of the world.
How does the moons orbit around the sun affect seasons?
It doesn't. It is the tilting of the Earth's axis that creates the seasons. The orbit of the Moon (and our orbit around the Sun) affects Earth's tides.
