What is the significance of the axial tilt of the earth? |
|
Answer» The earth is not at right angles to its axis, but is inclined at 23 . This 23 inclination remains in the same direction during its orbit of the sun. As a result of this inclination of the earth, the north and the south pole come near the sun alternately, resulting in the enjoyment of different seasons in both the hemispheres. If this axial tilt was not there then day and night durations would be equal on earth and it would be impossible to have different seasons. |
