What would happen to the climate if the earth tilted an additional 3 degrees off it's axis?

Answer 1

Now the axis of rotation of the Earth is tiltrd to the orbital plane at an angle of 66 1/2 degrees.If it tilts further by 3 degrees, then it will become more slant.In that case, the tropic of cancer will move further north and the tropic of capricon will move further south.Then poles will be more warmer in summer and more colder in winter.The sun has to cover more latitudes in one year in its apparent movement with the result the duration of seasons at a particular place will be shortented . Some more places near the poles(and towards the equator) will have six month's daytime and six month's night time.As the tilt only causes unequal day time and night time in a place, it will become more pronounced.That means daytime will be longer in summer and night time will be longer in winter.Poles will not have this much mass of ice.

Answer 2

It probably depends on which way it tilts. The 3-degree tilt could cause the position of the ice caps to move over time, causing water currents to change direction and/or temperature, which could drastically change climates throughout the world. That is just my guess.

Answer 3

No, which may be impossible via all of the technologies all of us be attentive to at present. If the earth truthfully did tilt that lots there could have been international devastation as all of the plate techtonics adjusted to the pressures. Navigation could have come to a halt, airplanes could have dropped from the sky. The seasons could have shifted and international climate could have been heavily replaced. No, the earth did no longer tilt.

Answer 4

Hard to say for certain.

One possibility is that the additional tilt would make winters cooler, leading to more ice accumulation. Ice reflects the sun's energy back to space, so the increased heat of the summer might not be enough to melt it. As more and more ice accumulated the problem would get worse, leading to a new ice age.

Answer 5

look up the milankovitch theory

Answer 6

no big change
