Ok, to clarify... The imaginary line between the north and south pole around which the world turns is, obviously, directly vertical (that is, at a right angle to its path of orbit around the Sun, if you visualise one of those solar system map things that you see in science textbooks etc).
What would happen if it was in fact 'vertical', so that when it orbited, all areas of the planet would be at a constant distance from the Sun at different times of year? Would seasons be eliminated? Would the equinox effect be eliminated? Would anything else happen?
Thanks very much if you can help me with this =)
