The spring comes when the sun's warming rays line up perpendicular to earth's axial tilt. At the time of equinox at earth's equator, the sun appears almost directly.

Explanation:

When the earth travels around the sun its orbit, the north to south position of the sun changes over some year due to the changing orientation of the earth's tilted rotation axes. The dates of zero tilt of the earth's equator correspond to the spring equinox and autumn equinox.

The tilt of the earth is that earth will lean towards the sun (summer) or lean away from the sun (winter) for 6 months. At this time spring and autumn will occur. The earth's movement around the sun causes the seasons.

Hence, the earth is tilted during the spring and fall equinoxes because the spring comes when the sun's warming rays are perpendicular to earth's axial tilt.

Answer:

MRCORRECT has answered the question

Explanation:

Do to the fact that Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees to the plane of the "ecliptic", which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Each planet's orbital plane is a little different from Earth's, and each planet has a different axial tilt. The fact that we are talking about 5 dgrees we are talking about Jupiter which there would be little to no change

Answer:

b. Cities like New York, New Orleans, and Miami will be flooded by ocean water.

Explanation:

The theory says global warming will cause the temperature of the planetary atmosphere to rise. The hotter environment will make ice masses of Greenland, and the poles to melt completely and make coastal cities like New York, New Orleans, and Miami flooded by the ocean.
