In the absence of this tilt, the temperature pattern would depend on latitude only, round the year.
Explanation:
In the absence of this tilt, the angle of incidence of solar rays will be
the latitude, round the year. So, the temperature pattern would
depend on latitude only, round the year.
It is the axial tilt of
(ecliptic ) of the Earth, that causes gradual variation of the angle of
incidence of solar rays in the range
This variation creates annual climate pattern that is broadly divided
into four seasonal patterns Spring, Summer, Autumn and winter that
vary with latitudes.
