As the world tilts

PotomacBob ๐Ÿšซ

Read this story decades ago. I guess it's sci-fi. All I remember about the story is the end - in which the planet Earth tilts. maybe that's tilt's "again," since it's already tilted(I believe I've read the tilt is what causes us to have seasons).

Free association turns up Ursula K Leguin's "A swiftly tilting planet". But that doesn't seem likely; the planet isn't earth.

The only A Swiftly Tilting Planet that I'm aware of is by Madeleine L'Engle, Ursula K LeGuin

You're probably right. Been a long time since I read it.

Primarily. The tilt is also why the seasons are reversed between the northern and sourthern hemispheres.

However, the Earth's orbit around the Sun is elliptical and that would probably yield some seasonality even without the tilt.

There is a dead tree book from the golden age of SF, where the MC is sentenced to a time pyramid. When he emerges life has changed drastically. The "girls" have attempted to affect the tilt of the planet with devastating results. Title? Author? - nada.

Larry Niven's World Out of Time, or possibly Rammer.

Ive read several apocalyptic stories about the Earths axis tilting but they were all on survivalist websites not here.

I could be wrong since it's been a while from when I last read it but didn't "Kinetic" on here end with slight planetary tilt adjustment when the mc unveiled the new dual moon set up he created to replace the old moon?

I think each of the three planets that were created had a different tilt. I don't think the MC changed the tilt of the original earth.
