What day/night cycle would we have if earth was tilted like Uranus?
Uranus is the planet for Rip Van Winkle, who, according to legend should sleep for twenty years. In mid-lattitude regions of Uranus, it is night for 21 earth years at a time, due to it having a tilt angle of 96 degrees (Uranus North misalignment from solar North). If our earth had an axis tilt near 90 degrees like Uranus, the equatorial regions would receive more normal day lengths. Regions at mid-lattitude and closer to the poles would cause 6 month days and 6 month nights. It doesn’t matter if you are talking about England or Australia. If England had night, Australia would have day, and vice-versa. We probably would have extreme difficulty surviving anywhere besides the equatorial regions. The equivalents of the arctic circle and antarctic circle would perhaps be through Mexico and South Africa respectively. If our earth were contrarotational like Uranus, Venus, and Pluto (rotating opposite its orbit), but still had either the same axial tilt, just labeled as 157 degrees instead of
