"Tilt on its axis" really doesn't mean anything.
The Earth's axis of rotation is not "straight up and down" compared to
the plane of its orbit around the sun.
The axis makes an angle of about 66.5 degrees with the orbital plane,
and the equator makes an angle of about 23.5 degrees with that plane.
That's the reason for the changing length of days and nights during the
year, and also for the seasons.
