how would increasing the tilt of Earth's axis affect the amount of daylight throughout the year?

Answer 1

The amount of sunlight would not change overall in the year, but the extreme amount of daylight in the summer would increase and the lack of light in the winter would be greater. The solstices would be the same.

If you are referring to cloud cover, that becomes more complicated... you would have to use sophisticated modeling to guess at that.

And actually, you would see a global heating effect from that... global cooling is caused by mild summers more than colder winters... in fact, warmer winters which have more percipitation cause more glaciation when combined with mild summers.

Answer 2

A - decrease because of the fact the lean of the earth does no longer replace as lots. If the axis have been extra tilted, it might boost because of the fact there would be a larger variety of temperatures in the poles and on the equator.

Answer 3

I would like to also add to what my collegue said in that the poles would also get bigger ice packs due to the longer period of winter. I don't think it would have enough time to fully thaw durin ght "summer" months north or south of the artic and antatctic circles.

Oceans would cool slightly, affecting weather patterns.

Icebergs would also be able to drift further south in the Atlantic and northern Pacific for the same reason.

Answer 4

First answer is good, except the opposite would occur in the Southern hemisphere.

Answer 5

Days would get longer in the summer and shorter in the winter (longer and shorter than they already are, I mean).
