final question
what is one consequence of earths axis having a tilt of about 23.5°?
a. earths axis is perpendicular to its orbital plane.
b. the north and south poles experience winter all year round.
c. earths rotation causes its axis to always point to a different place in space.
d. different seasons occur as different latitudes receive more or less sunlight.
The tilt of Earth's axis causes different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to seasons. Earth's axis is not perpendicular to its orbital plane. The poles don't have winter all - year - round. Earth's axis points towards the same general direction in space (towards Polaris) due to gyroscopic stability.
