Doesn't matter right now. The crust is cracking all over the place and the globe is wobbling. So you have to ask this question again in a couple of weeks. We'll know by then which way she's tilting.

The Earth's axis is tilted neither left nor right; instead, it is tilted relative to its orbit around the sun. This tilt is what causes the seasons as different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.

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.

What is the direction of mercury's rotation?

Mercury, just as Earth rotates alone its axis. The spin is from left to right along this axis with one rotation lasting nearly 176-days on Earth. Needless to say it is a very slow spin in comparison.


Does the sun rotate left or right?

Virtually everything in our solar system spins or orbits right-to-left, from the perspective that the Earth's north pole is "up".


What zone Earth receive the most direct sunlight?

The Equator (tropical zone) gets the most sunlight during the year. The reason is because of the tilt of the Earth on its axis. I left this information out originally.

How does the World spin around?

I have answered questions similar to this before. The world is on an axis tilted at about an 83.141592653 degree angle. But this does not answer the question of how the earth spins around. The left side of the earth is 3.14 tons heavier than the right side of the earth. This causes continuous momentum spinning the earth slowly making it rotate.

The characteristic of the Earth that causes the coriolis effect is the of the Earth on its axis?

The characteristic of the Earth that causes the Coriolis effect is the rotation of the Earth on its axis. As the Earth rotates, objects in motion are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect.
