How Axis Tilt Affects the Intensity of Solar Radiation
Previous Image | Next Image
Description: It is because the axis is tilted that we have seasons.
(a) The tilt of Earth’s axis of rotation changes from 22.1 to 24.5 degrees and back in a 41,000-year cycle.
At higher latitudes, even the shift of a few degrees can cause a significant change in the intensity of solar radiation.
