Detailed explanation-1: -The axis of rotation of Earth is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees from the vertical line perpendicular to the plane of our planet’s orbit. The tilt of earth’s axis is responsible for the various seasons.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the old model, Earth’s current axial tilt of 23.5 degrees resulted from the angle of the collision that formed the moon, and has stayed that way through time. Over billions of years, Earth’s rotation slowed from five hours to 24 as tidal energy was released.

Detailed explanation-3: -The earth’s axis of rotation is tilted 66.5 degrees with respect to its orbital plane around the sun and its axis of rotation is inclined 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular, with respect to this plane.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Arctic Circle is a parallel of latitude on the Earth at approximately 66.5 degrees north from the equator.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: The axis of the Earth is tilted at an angle of 23 1/2 ° fro m a perpendicular to the orbital plane. This tilting of the axis is called the inclination of the Earth’s axis. Due to this inclination, the axis of the Earth makes an angle of 66 1/2 ° with the plane of the Earth’s orbit.
