The war affected the growth of the federal government in three different major areas: public finance, military spending, and social welfare programs. Until World War II the individual income tax was a minor part of the federal government receipts (affecting no more than 3 percent of the population). However with the introduction of the employee withholding tax in 1943, for the first time a large percentage of the population was subject to the income tax.
Earth's axial tilt (obliquity) is currently about 23.4Â°. Earth's orbital plane is known as the ecliptic plane, and Earth's tilt is known to astronomers as the obliquity of the ecliptic, being the angle between the ecliptic and the celestial equator on the celestial sphere. It is denoted by the Greek letter Îµ. Earth currently has an axial tilt of about 23.4Â°.
1 h = +15Â° Earth rotation; 4 min = +1Â° Earth rotation; Wild fact: a time zone change of one hour is really just 15 degrees of separation between standard meridians. The axis of rotation of the Earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees away from vertical, perpendicular to the plane of our planet's orbit around the sun. The tilt of the earth's axis is important, in that it governs the warming strength of the Sun's energy. The tilt of the surface of the Earth causes light to be spread across a greater area of land, called the cosine projection effect. Cosine Projection Effect. When you tilt a surface away from a beam of light, you spread the same density of light across a larger area.
