The seasons are caused by the tilted axis and orbit. The axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane.

Is the sun tilted?

The Sun is not tilted in the way that some planets are; it rotates on its axis, but its axis is not significantly tilted relative to its orbit around the Milky Way galaxy. However, its axis is tilted slightly in relation to its orbit around the center of the galaxy.


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.


Is it true seasons are a result of earth's tilted orbit?

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

It is tilted (23.5 degrees).


What are the reasons that seasons occur in the US?

the Earth rotates on an axis, that axis is tilted with respect to the axis of Earth's orbit, and Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical.


Does Saturn have a tilted axis?

Yes, Saturn has a tilted axis. Its axis is tilted at an angle of about 26.73 degrees in relation to its orbit around the Sun, causing the planet to experience seasons similar to those on Earth.


What angle is Earth's axis tilted with respect to Earths orbit?

The season


How is the axis of Neptune?

You perhaps refer to the "tilt" of the axis. Neptune has an spin axis tilted at about 28.3 degrees from the perpendicular to its orbit.


Does the earth tilt as it travels its orbit?

The Earth's axis is tilted about 23 degrees.


Does the earth have a very tilted axis?

The tilt is about 23.5° with respect to the plane of the Earth's orbit; you will have to decide for yourself whether this is "very" or not.


Do Jupiter have a very tilted axis?

No, Jupiter does not have a very tilted axis like some other planets in our solar system. Jupiter's axis is only tilted by about 3 degrees, which is very close to being perpendicular to its orbit around the Sun.


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.
