Question

What would be the effect on earth's seasons if the axis were tilted at 28.5 degrees instead of 23.5 degrees?

Answer 1

Seasons will have shorter duration as the sun has to cover more latitudes in one year.The day time and night time will change every where and some more places in the lower latitudes will have six month's day time and six month's night time apart from the poles.

Answer 2

It'll only be colder in *winter*. Summers will be warmer. On the surface, that should appear to cancel out, so that the earth's average temperature would stay the same. However, there might actually be a net warming effect, due to complex interaction between land and water albedo. Google "Milankovitch cycles" and read about the theories associated with it. The Earth is theorized to have been warmer in the past when it was tilted at 24 degrees (just a half degree more than what it is today).

Answer 3

actually it doesn't affect the period/time of sunlight to be reachieved by the earth and season change.. but it will affect.. the area that will be no sunlight for 6 months.

as en example upper Europe such us Russia and Canada will also be dark without sunlight.. and it also will be colder to.

Answer 4

Winters would be a little colder and longer... summers would be a little warmer and longer...  spring and fall would be more brief as the sun's cycle would now be 57 degrees instead of 47 degrees.

Answer 5

the poles would be colder and the tropics would be warmer. the middle latitudes would have more drastic weather change. the poles would have longer periods of no sunlight.
