Rounding Up the Axis
« on: November 24, 2015, 09:48:02 PM »
Ever since discovering the Universe Sandbox, I felt as though I've found the opportunities to see all the astronomical scenarios in my mind come into fruition.  But, of course, one question at a time.


Earth's current axial tilt is 23.5 degrees, ideal for the possibility of the four seasons.  Whenever I rounded it up to 25 degrees, people say that I end up getting hotter summers and colder winters--in short, more seasonal extremes.

So my question is--regarding the 25-degree axial tilt and the seasonal extremes, how much is "more"?

Probably not much, probably just a few degrees (temperature). However, there will be a few more days of polar night in cities like Barrow, AK.
