Tides would become stronger.

∙ 6y agoThe tides would be proportionally higher and the Earth would be rotating faster.
The Moon WAS closer to the Earth in the geological past and it has slowly been moving away as its orbit has been speeded up (and flung further away) by tidal drag and the Earth has lost of rotational energy Earth to balance this. [It continues to move away at the speed your fingernails grow.]
In the geological past the tides were much higher (because the Moons gravitation pull was stronger when it was closer) and we can see from geological evidence that in the Devonian year had 400 days, making each day only 22 hours long.

∙ 9y agoI think you are confusing two things here: the tilt of the axis, and the distance from the Sun. The two are not directly related.

Which explains the relationship between hours of sunlight and seasons?
the tilt of earths axis relative to the sun.
What degree each planet axis tilt?
Everyone seems to know the axis of the Earth is tilted, but not that it is tilted relative to the Ecliptic which is the second vital piece of information. The third piece of vital information is that spinning of the Earth has a gyroscopic effect which ensures that the direction of the tilt relative to the ecliptic, does not change through-out the year. Or ever! If it leans to the "left" in Summer it is still leaning to the left in Winter. The True North Pole is ~for-ever pointing at the same Polar Star and does not trace out a great circle in space throughout the year. If it did, one hemisphere would be for-ever Winter and the other, for-ever Summer.
Why does the Northern hemisphere winter not occur when the earth is farthest from the sun at aphelion?
The seasons are created primarily by the tilt of the Earth's axis. It just happens that the axis is tilted so that the most indirect light hits the Northern Hemisphere when the Earth is nearer the Sun, creating the Northern Hemisphere winter.
Why is the northern hemisphere colder in Feb than December if the tilt of the axis is more towards the sun?
the angle of the earth's axis
What do you mean by tilt of the earth?
The earth orbits the sun. As the earth orbits the sun, the earth also spins on its axis. The axis goes through the north and south poles. The axis tilts in relationship to the earth's orbit. That tilt is called the tilt of the earth. If you have a globe mounted in a stand, that is why the globe is tilted instead of mounted straight up and down.
How does earths tilt lead to seasinal changes?
Depending on the position of earth in its orbit and which hemisphere is closer to the sun due to the Earth's tilt on its axis, different seasons are the result.
What are the two factors that cause the earth's seasons?
rotation of earth -earth is at a tilt so sometimes some parts get more sun then others rotation around the sun -earth will be at different distances from the sun as it rotates around
How would you describe what causes the seasons?
its earths tilt on its axis orbiting the sun
What two things causes the earths four seasons?
The Earth rotates on its axis causing either the North or South Hemishere to tilt towards the sun which ever hemishere is tilted toward the sun it is probably spring or summer.
Which explains the relationship between hours of sunlight and seasons?
the tilt of earths axis relative to the sun.
What affect does earths tilt have on ocean water at hurricane season?
earths tilt bring the hemishere closer to the suns direct rays were the sun can warm up the water.
What does the earths tilt on its axis do?
Gives us the four seasons based on how close our side of the earth is to the sun.
What are sesons caused by?
The seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth relative to the sun. The earths axis is tilted and not perfectly parallel with the sun's axis. This means that as the earth circles the sun half the planet will be closer to the sun then the other. When half is closer that is summer. (closer = hotter). When it is farthest away that is winter (father = colder). Spring and fall are the transition times in between. When the tilt is moving away from the sun it is getting farther and farther away and getting colder...(fall). When it gets closer then it gets warmer leading to spring. Food for thought....when its summer in the USA..its winter in Australia
What two things cause the seasons to change on earth?
There are two things that cause it which are the earths orbit and thetilt of the earths axis.
Earths spinning causes night and day?
Basically the tilt of the axisThe spinning of the Earth on its axis is the cause of day and night. it takes approximately 24 hours for any point on the earth to directly face the sun twice.A combination of the tilt of the Earths axis and its orbit around the sun is responsible for the seasons.
How does the earths orbit around the sun cause the seasons?
Actually, it doesn't. The TILT of the Earth on it axis causes seasonal changes.
What affects seasonal change more Earth's tilted axis or the distance to the sun during Earths orbit?
seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth. since the earth is in a slight eliptical orbit around the sun, when we are closer to the sun in January is where the northern hemisphere will still have winter and further from the sun in July when summer occurs. this is expected to flip in 26,000 years because of earths 3rd axis known as axial precession
