The Earth tilts on its axis, but have you ever wonder what life would be like if it didn't. Geophysicist Clark Wilson at the University of Texas at Austin says that, first of all, there’d be no seasons. That's because we experience summer or winter depending on whether our hemisphere is pointing toward or away from the Sun. Also, day length would never vary.

CLARK WILSON (University of Texas at Austin):
So any point on Earth would have the same amount of daylight throughout the year, basically 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness.
