Suppose the earth’s axis was tilted by 10 degree instead of by 23.5 degree. Explain how and why the seasonal variation of solar radiation at 45 degree North (the latitude of Minneapolis) would be changed compared to the variation we experience with a tilt of 23.5 degree. Would the seasonal variation of temperature be affected? If so, how; and if not, why not?
