Nov 19, 2014 · Earth's Axis. As for the reasoning behind, the axis of the rotation, as pointed out in other answers, this is the result of Earth's past impacts with objects of enough mass to produce the shift from a zero offset from the stars axis, to the current axis of the rotation. Future impacts would be able to change the rotation.

Aug 29, 2016 · The Earth rotates on its own axis, which is tilted by about 23 degrees. I am imagining a situation where such an axial tilt does not exist. From general reading, it appears the largest impact of removing an axial tilt would be on seasonal change, in the sense that there wouldn't be any changes whatsoever.

May 4, 2017 · The part of the earth tilted towards the sun is warmer. For example, in the Northern hemisphere, the earth is tilted towards the sun in the months around June and tilted away from it in the months around December. This has the effect of increasing the exposure of the earth to the sun for the latitudes tilted towards the sun.

Sep 17, 2014 · The three main climate zones on Earth are tropics, temperate and polar. Due to Earth's axial tilt, the three zones experience different seasonal patterns: The tropics experience 2 or 4 wet/dry seasons depending on how the tropical rain belt passes over it. The temperate zones experience the 4 seasons.

Nov 1, 2015 · The Earth is currently closest to the sun in the first week of January and furthest in the first week of July. Source , so it's pretty obvious that being closer to the sun doesn't create summer. The axial tilt is what causes the seasons, but …

Apr 8, 2017 · This would happen even if Earth's axis weren't tilted. Polar regions would still be cold and equatorial regions would still be hotter. In fact, the difference would be greater because there'd be less mixing. The image below shows the what happens to the energy the Earth receives from the Sun: Source: NASA. That shows an average over the entire ...

Jun 23, 2020 · So Earth has an axial tilt and that creates weather regions. For example, approximately 23 degrees north and south, approximately the same as the planet's axial tilt, will give you the tropics. This creates a band around the Earth of warm wet climate. But then there are these climate cells as well. The Hadley cell occurs at 30 degrees north and ...

Aug 29, 2016 · $\begingroup$ What other assumptions are you considering (i.e. does the Earth still have a moon whose orbit is tilted about 5° from the ecliptic, that that moon is about the same size; or do we assume that there is no moon, or that, since the Earth was never knocked on its side, that the moon orbits in the ecliptic)? $\endgroup$ –

Aug 6, 2018 · By rotational axis I mean axial tilt or Axial obliquity or 66 1/2 degrees tilt of earth to its orbital.
