What 2 factors cause the cycle of the seasons?
A clue to the riddle of the comings and goings of the seasons lies in the posture of Earth. Earth does not stand straight up as you do. It is tilted like a tree blown partly over by the wind. In scientific terms Earth’s axis is tilted from its orbit around the sun by 23.5 degrees.If it were not tilted, Earth would have no seasons. Its land and water would not warm up in spring and summer, and cool down in fall and winter. http://wiki.answers.com/…/…le_of_the_seasons Answer originally posted in response to What 2 factors cause the cycle of the seasons?
