Detailed explanation-1: -If the tilt on Earth’s axis were increased from 23.5 to 30, summers in New York State would become? warmer, and winters would become cooler.
Detailed explanation-2: -Though the seasons would not change much but severity of seasons would increase. World would experience extreme seasons with very hot summers and extremely cold winter. Length of Winter nights and Summer days would increase in Mid-latitudes.
Detailed explanation-3: -If the Earth’s axis tilted 45 degrees instead of the current 23.5 degrees, the seasons would be far more pronounced than they are, and the poles would be warmer overall. An axial tilt of 45 degrees would bring more heat to bear on the hemisphere facing the sun.
Detailed explanation-4: -Seasons are caused by the fact that the Earth is tilted on its axis by 23.5°. The tilt’s orientation with respect to space does not change during the year; thus, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the sun in June and away from the sun in December, as illustrated in the graphic below.
