The Earth's axis (the imaginary line round which it spins like a top) has remained at its current inclination since the Earth/Moon system formed some 4 thousand million years ago. The reason for this is that the presence of the Moon stabilises the Earth and prevents the axis of spin from changing.

What occurs when Earth's axis wobbles?

the Earth's axis always wobbles but it does so seasonally and when it does it changes seasons in certian locations. when the axis wobbles, whatever location you are in will either get tilted towards the Sun or get tilted away from the Sun, which changes the season with the help of the revolution of the Earth around the Sun


How do seasons changes?

They change by the tilt of the earth's axis!


What is the reason for seasonal changes?

Seasonal changes occur due to the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the sun. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to changes in temperature and weather patterns.


What occurs once every 24 hours?

Why does the Earth have seasonal changes in temperature throughout the year?

The earth orbiting the sun and the tilt in the earth's axis or rotation.


How many times does the earth spin on its axis while it makes the journey?

Earth spins on its axis for about 365/366 times while it completes one journey.


What is the reason for the changes?

Seasonal changes happen because of the tilt of the Earth's axis, relative to the plane of the ecliptic.


When does earth turn on its axis?

Continuously, at all times.
