Question

What would be the effect on the annual march of the seasons if Earth's axis were not inclined relative to the plane of the ecliptic? What would be the effect on the annual march of the seasons if the North Pole always leaned toward the Sun? If Earth's axis were tilted only 20 degree from perpendicular, what would the latitudes of the Tropic of Cancer and Arctic Circle be? Why are standard time zones 15 degree of longitude wide? Most weather satellite images are "time-stamped" using UTC or "Zulu" time (UTC expressed using 24-hour, military time) instead of the local time of the region below. Why?
