middle slant

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Instead, Earth has seasons because our planet’s axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees relative to our orbital plane, that is, the plane of Earth’s orbit around the sun. The tilt in the axis of the Earth is called its obliquity by scientists. Obliquity.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is caused by the gravitational force from the Sun, the Moon, and other planets.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Sun’s rotation axis is tilted by about 7.25 degrees from the axis of the Earth’s orbit so we see more of the Sun’s north pole in September of each year and more of its south pole in March. Since the Sun is a ball of gas/plasma, it does not have to rotate rigidly like the solid planets and moons do.
