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.
What else can I help you with?
What changes in the earth orbit and the tilt of the earths axis cause ice ages?
Climate
What is the Imaginary rod on which the earth rotate?
The axis
What do changes in Earths orbit affect?
earths tempertures
How do you graph the earths orbit around the sun in quadraic function on a graph?
The Earth's orbit around the sun is not a quadratic function, but rather an elliptical path defined by Kepler's laws of planetary motion. To graph it, you would have to use polar coordinates or parametric equations. You can represent the orbit using parametric equations x = acos(t) and y = bsin(t), where 'a' is the semi-major axis, 'b' is the semi-minor axis, and 't' is the parameter representing time.
How a change in the earths orbit can affect the earths climate?
earths tempertures
What is the earths axis parallel to?
orbit of the moon
Two reasons for seasons?
1. Tilt of earths axis 2. Earths axis remains parallel throughout its yearly orbit.
What angle is Earth's axis tilted with respect to Earths orbit?
The season
Is the earths axis rotation almost parallel to the plane of its orbit?
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
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 changes in the earth orbit and the tilt of the earths axis cause ice ages?
Climate
What would be the effect on satellites now in orbit if earth were to not be rotating on its axis?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
How does UK get four different seasons?
The same way every other place in the world does. Because of the inclination of rotation about the earths axis and the earths orbit around the sun.
What two things cause the seasons to change on earth?
There are two things that cause it which are the earths orbit and thetilt of the earths axis.
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.
How does the earths orbit around the sun cause the seasons?
Actually, it doesn't. The TILT of the Earth on it axis causes seasonal changes.
Does the shape of earths orbit affect the season?
The changes in the distance from the sun (due to elliptical orbit) make marginal differences in the amount of energy recieved by the earth,. > The major contributor to seasonal differences is essentially due to the tilt from perpindicular of the earths rotational axis and the fact that the axis will remain parallel throughout the earths yearly orbit around the sun, so in the northern hemisphere the winter equinox is when the top of the axis is at maximum tilt away from the sun, resulting in diffused sunlight and less daylight hours.
