Question
Explain the tilt of the Earth's axis and its effects.
✓
Answer
The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to its orbital plane. This tilt causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to the change in seasons. The hemisphere tilted towards the Sun experiences summer, while the one tilted away experiences winter.
