Detailed explanation-1: -The length of time between night and day on Earth varies throughout the year. This time variance is explained primarily by? Earth’s angle of tilt. The rotation of Earth on its axis is gradually slowing.

Detailed explanation-2: -As the Earth moves around the Sun, the length of the day changes. The length of day at a particular location on Earth is a periodic function of time. This is all caused by the 23.5-degree tilt of the Earth’s axis as it travels around the sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -The axis of rotation of the Earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees away from vertical, perpendicular to the plane of our planet’s orbit around the sun. The tilt of the Earth’s axis is important, in that it governs the warming strength of the sun’s energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Earth’s axial tilt (also known as the obliquity of the ecliptic) is about 23.5 degrees. Due to this axial tilt, the sun shines on different latitudes at different angles throughout the year. This causes the seasons. Uranus has the largest axial tilt in the solar system.

Detailed explanation-5: -The tilt of the Earth’s axis also defines the length of daylight. Daylight hours are shortest in each hemisphere’s winter. Between summer and winter solstice, the number of daylight hours decreases, and the rate of decrease is larger the higher the latitude. The fewer sunlight hours the colder the nights.
