The Earth's axis of rotation is at an angle of 23.5 degrees to the plane of the "ecliptic", the orbital plane of the Earth around the Sun.
In space, there is no "up" or "down"; for something to be "tilted", it has to be tilted with reference to something else. Since we're here on Earth, it makes sense to use the ecliptic as a common reference plane.
No. It is not "the Earth" that is tilted away or towards the Sun, it is the hemisphere in which you live. And if you have summer, that basically means that your hemisphere is tilted TOWARDS the Sun.
The earth is always tilted on its axis. It is about 23.5o
The Earth's axis is tilted by about 23.5 degrees.
The earth is tilted away from the sun.
Because - the Earth is tilted on its axis - by about 11 degrees. This means that, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away. This - combined with the position of the sun in its orbit around the Sun - creates our seasons.
The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees
Earth is tilted on it's BUTT!Just kidding it's tilted on it's axis.
In a way, the Earth's axis IS tilted on its side, that's why we have seasons.
if the earth wasn't on tilted on it's axis there wouldn't be any seasons
axis on what? the earth? if yes its tilted
Yes Jupiter is tilted and its is tilted by 3.13 degrees.
The Earth is tilted on an axis
