What would happen if the earth tilted more?

More tilt means more severe seasons—warmer summers and colder winters; less tilt means less severe seasons—cooler summers and milder winters. It’s the cool summers that are thought to allow snow and ice to last from year-to-year in high latitudes, eventually building up into massive ice sheets.

What would happen if Earth’s axis of rotation were tilted at a lesser angle?

Explanation: Because seasons are caused by the changing angles that sunlight strikes the Earth (due to it’s tilted axis), a decrease in tilt would mean less extreme seasons. However, less tilt would mean less of a change in angle around the orbit and therefore cooler summers and warmer winters.

What would happen if the earth’s tilt was 45 degrees?

If the earth had an axis tilted at 45° degrees to its orbit of the sun the seasons would be more extreme but also mor polar centric. Some places on Earth would be in night for weeks or months and others would be in perpetual light for as long. The ice caps would likely have melted a long time ago.

What would happen if the earth tilt was 0 degrees?

The axial tilt causes the days to be longer than the nights in Summer and shorter in Winter. It also causes the seasons as one hemisphere gets more sunlight during its Summer and less during its Winter. It the tilt angle was zero, then the days and nights would stay at the same length and there would be no seasons.

What would happen if the earth was tilted at 45⁰ rather than 23.5 ⁰?

If the Earth’s axis tilted 45 degrees instead of the current 23.5 degrees, the seasons would be far more pronounced than they are, and the poles would be warmer overall. An axial tilt of 45 degrees would bring more heat to bear on the hemisphere facing the sun.

What would happen if the earth’s tilt was 10?

If the Earth’s tilt were at 10 degrees instead of 23.5 degrees, then the Sun path through the year would stay closer to the equator. So the new tropics would be between 10 degrees north and 10 degrees south, and the Arctic and Antarctic circles would be at 80 degrees north and 80 degrees south.

What would happen to the seasons if the tilt of the axis was opposite to what it is now?

What would happen to the seasons if the tilt of the axis was opposite to what it is now? All seasons would reverse.
