Question

What would happen to the seasons if earth were tilted 35 degrees off its orbital plane instead of the usual 23.5 degrees?

Answer 1

Question Options:

A) The seasons would disappear.

B) Winters and summers would be more severe.

C) Winters and summers would be less severe.

D) The seasons would be shorter.

Answer: B) Winters and summers would be more severe.

Explanation: It is general knowledge that the current tilt of the earth is around 23.5 degrees. A tilt will significantly affect the current climate. The winters would be colder and summers would be hotter. This is because the temperature gradient between the equatorial centre and the pole would be more extreme this would increase wind speeds.

Answer 2

If the planet was tilted by 35 degrees instead of the 23,5 degrees that is now, the seasons will still exist, they will not stop existing totally, but the winters and summers will be much more extreme, the temperatures in summer will go very high, and in winter will be very low, also these two periods will be prolonged
