Question

What is the effect of the tilt of the Earth's axis on day and night?

Answer 1

Answer:

Daytime is shorter in winter than in summer. This is because the Earth's imaginary axis isn't straight up and down, it is tilted 23.5 degrees. As the Earth moves around the sun during a year, the northern half of the Earth is tilted towards the sun in the summer, making daytime longer than night.

Answer 2

Answer:

Rotation of the Earth causes night and day to alternate. Since we learned that the Earth's axis is tilted and hence the equator is not facing the Sun directly, different places on Earth would experience unequal length of days and nights—not exactly 12 hours of day and 12 hours of night all the time.
