Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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. The tilt of the earth affects the angle between the sun beam and the normal over a surface.
