amoda Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 okay i need help with understanding how the earth tilts to the sun during diffrent seasons. If the earth is at a constant tilt of 23.5% in the same direction how can it be tilted away from the sun in the winter but point towards it on the summer? I tried using my pencil as a visual but even though i spin it in circular motion it dosent change the tilt from one side to another. All help appreciated greatly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aommaster Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Good link, couldn't explain it better. Or, what else could be done is this, the typical experiment: 1.Get a globe and a flashlight. 2.The globe already has a tilt, making it easier to understand what is going on. 3.Put the flashlight on a chair and switch it on and point it towards the globe. 4. You can see what the pictures are showing you with that set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
