Detailed explanation-1: -The axis of Earth is tilted towards the ecliptic of the Sun at an angle of approximately 23.5 ∘. This tilt causes the difference in the amount of sunlight reaching a given point on the surface during the course of a year. Hence, we can experience different seasons on the Earth throughout the year.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Near June 21st, the summer solstice, the Earth is tilted such that the Sun is positioned directly over the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees north latitude.

Detailed explanation-4: -Earth’s Rotation The Earth rotates on its axis relative to the sun every 24.0 hours mean solar time, with an inclination of 23.45 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the sun.
