How does earth's orbit affect climate change? Contrast a circular orbit to elliptical (oval) orbit. Give two opposite extreme climate change due to earth's orbital change

extreme heat and extreme cold.

Explanation: Climate experts prove that with climate change, the planet can experience extreme weather. In particular temperature record highs out pace record lows and some types of extreme weather such as extreme heat, intense precipitation, and drought have become more frequent or severe in recent decades.

The orbit has an effect on climate by determining the amount of incoming sunlight. The cycle of ice ages are linked to changes in the earth's orbit, so they are important to the long-term climate variability of the earth. Earth's orbit around the sun is due to the gravitational attraction between the earth and the sun.

The solar radiation bombarding Earth at any given time, makes the planet warmer. So Earth's place in each of these cycles should have a measurable effect on long term climate trends — and it does. Another factor is to consider which hemisphere happens to be receiving the heaviest bombardment. This is because land warms faster than oceans do, and the Northern Hemisphere is covered by more land and less ocean than the Southern Hemisphere
