6. The tilt didn't change, of course.

If your post was tongue-in-cheek like I assume, this is more for other people who might get the wrong impression.

The Earth's tilt stays roughly the same with some small wobbling. The wobbling would be worse without our large Moon.

It's the tilt combined with the revolution around the Sun that determines the amount of solar radiation striking the northern and southern parts of the planet.
