Answer
Without a tilt, there would be no seasons at all.

Explanation

  • Seasons happen because of the tilt of the Earth's axis.
  • With no tilt, sunlight would fall the same way all year.
  • Each place would get the same amount of light every day.
  • So there would be no change of seasons.
No tilt means no seasons, as sunlight would never change.
