What would the Earth be like if it had no tilt and spun perfectly upright?

    There would be none.  It couldn't exist in the atomosphere where it lives.  It couldn't follow the laws of the Universe and how it is in operation.   That would be like me trying to breathe underwater.  Some things are against the laws of physics.

    I love questions like this one, simply love them!

    Absolutely everything would be different: weather, wind currents, waves, tides, plant growth, terrain, pollenation, etc.

    Well then you need to get a job in a kidnergarten.  They ask this stuff all day and night.  What if the moon was black, Randy?  HUH?  What if?

    No that is just me and Randy.  He can take me.  O - U - Know is going to be miffed. He will probably tell me to FK off.  HE does that sometimes.

    Sometimes she goes into a big rant when you talk about stuff she doesn't understand very well.

    You didn't really deserve that because you said you were sorry but you didn't cry to prove you were sorry.

    I've noticed that too. She injects herself into discussions she has no interest in only to divert attention away from the subject to another one of her insane rantings. This site deserves PET questions.

    She's hardly ever had a rant that I didn't like. I really think that she and I may have been twins who were separated at birth. Not that we think exactly alike, because we don't, but because we think exactly opposite of each other yet we understand each other so well.

    If in another life I had to be Sharonna and she had to be me, we would both love it very much.
    (Oh, and she's not tilde-obsessed. More proof that she's off her rocker.)

    Therein lies the root of the problem. I'll send you over a boxful of them. Better yet, I'll go over there personally, wrestle you down to the floor and put them on you. I know how much you procrastinate.

    Believe me, you won't resist one bit. My wife forbids me to give money to strange women, and everyone knows that's you to a tee.

    Who ever heard of night kindergarten, and where were you when everyone else was learning to spell?

    The kidnergarteners leave school, go home and aggravate the parental authorities with this nonsense.   I have to spell this out for you, Randall?   I believe Alaska has night kidnergarten.  Ask Sara.

    What questions do they ask at the asylum? "How do we focus our energies into creating a world of complete harmony through human Earth love expression?" This post was edited by O-uknow at December 17, 2016 9:14 AM MST

    I think it would remain kind of chill year round in southern part of Canada where 90% of the population lives but at least we would not get long freezing cold winters.

    While it is difficult to predict in detail, in general an Earth with little to no tilt of its axis of rotation relative to its plane of orbit would have more uniform climate throughout the year. There would still be significant disparity between the polar regions and equitorial regions, but those differences would be stable throughout the year (e.g. no snow in Southtown).

    Please note there is no way this would occur in our reality, short of some massive planetary collision.

    Like an asteroid hitting us? Surely that can never happen.
