EARTH'S TILT AND ROTATION

The earth's axis of rotation is tilted 231/2 degrees relative to the perpendicular of the earth's plane of orbit. This tilt causes the four seasons. During the months of May, June, and July the northern hemisphere is pointed toward the sun, causing the hemisphere to warm and bringing on the season called summer. During November, December, and January the northern hemisphere is pointed away from the sun providing colder temperatures and the season called winter. Why is this tilt 231/2 degrees? Why not some other value?

What if the earth had no tilt, and the axis of rotation remained perpendicular to the plane of orbit? We would have no seasons and the surface temperature at any point on the earth would be the same during both July and January. The equatorial region of our planet would be intolerably hot all year and the poles would remain fairly cold. Ice would accumulate at the poles. The weather patterns would be stationary with permanently positioned warm and cold air masses. Some areas would continually be very humid while other areas would be quite arid. Only the mid-latitudes would be comfortable for human habitation and suitable for cultivation. Only about one half of our presently farmable lands could grow crops.

What would be the effect if the earth had double the present tilt? Temperature extremes between seasons would be much more pronounced. Even the mid-latitudes would have unbearable heat in the summer and frigid cold in the winter. Most of Europe and North America would experience very prolonged darkness in the winter and very prolonged daylight in the summer. Life on most of the earth's surface would become intolerable.

If the earth did not have this exact tilt, then life would be very bad for us all. So, why is this happening? Please explain?



This is funny. You reason from 2 false premises, that the Earth's axis is stable and has always been the same, and that climate is directly related to the Earth's axis.

first, the quesiton of the axis:
"the tilt of the Earth's axis to its orbital plane (obliquity of the ecliptic) is currently 66.5 degrees, but this angle has slowly changed over time due to the action of precession"--from Wikipedia.

So the Earth's rotation has shifted over time. Your problem here is ignorance of science and bad logic.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

second, the idea that climate is dependent solely on the axis:
The global climate of the Earth has chnaged radically over history, from being almost toally glaciated (the snowball earth theory), to being almost all tropical (in age of the dinosaurs). The Axis hasnt shifted much in that time, so climate must be related to something else.

Indeed it is: water. The flow of the Earth's oceans regulate the temperature.. this is why you can have palm trees in parts of Ireland. Continental drift has repeatedly altered the flow of the ocean's waters, and having a predictable effect on global climate. Sometimes the poles were frozen as they are now, sometimes they were even temperate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if the Earth's axis hadn't changed, and was different, life may still have evolved, but it might have turned out somewhat different than it is. For instance, did you know life has been found in both the coldest and hottest parts of the Earth? Things called "archea", for instance, seem to be able to inhabit boiling water, and things live on the freezing poles. Life flourishes at the bottom the sea, in the abyssal plain, a barren, frigid region of total darkness.

Some scientists think there might possibly be life on other worlds, such as Europa or Titan. All you may need for life as we know it is probably some liquid water and otehr elements like carbon.

There might even be some form of life that require neither.. perhaps even silicon life.
