No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted.

Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets.

What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.

What is the earths axis and orbit?

No, it is not. It is tilted in comparison to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is why we have different times of seasons in the northern and southern hemisphere.


Why does the earth's orbit determine the seasons?

Now your question is wrong because the earths orbit doesn't contribute to the seasons, its the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth which creates the seasons. The tilt by what i believe was created when the moon was formed, or the godly way when god tilted the earth creating the flood


What would happen to the seasons if earth was tilted on its axis as it orbit the sun?

It is tilted (23.5 degrees).

How is the earths axis tilted when the northern hemisphere?

The axis of the Earth is tilted 23.5 degress from the plane of the orbit round the sun.


What is caused by your tilted axis and your orbit?

Earth's tilted axis and orbit around the sun cause the changing of seasons. The tilt of Earth's axis means that different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight during different times of the year, resulting in the familiar cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.


How can seasons be explained in terms of motion?

The axis of the earth is tilted in the plane of its orbit. As the earth orbits the sun, the axis is tilted toward the sun and away from the sun and this creates the seasons.


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.


Why does the fact that the earth is tilted affect us?

Since the Earth is tilted with respect to the plane of its orbit around the sun, the parts of the Earth away form the equator receive significantly different amounts of solar heating at different times of the year. The result is the progression of the seasons (summer, autumn, winter, spring). If the Earth were not tilted, we would not have seasons.


What two things causes the earths four seasons?

The Earth rotates on its axis causing either the North or South Hemishere to tilt towards the sun which ever hemishere is tilted toward the sun it is probably spring or summer.
