The axis on which Earth now rotates is tilted at an angle. If the axis was to be changed so that it was perfectly upright, which change would be expected on Earth? Current angle of tilt Change to upright for Earth's axis axis for Earth For every season, the length of the day would be shorter. There would no longer be periods of light and darkness. There would not be the same pattern of seasonal changes in weather It would always be winter in the Southern Hemisphere.

The axis on which Earth now rotates is tilted at a 23.5 degree angle. If the axis was to be changed so that it was perfectly upright like in the model, which change would be expected on Earth? There would no longer be periods of light and darkness. It would always be winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
