23 degrees 26 minutes. This is the angular difference between the Earth's axis of rotation and the plane of the ecliptic, which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This tilt changes VERY slowly; fractions of a minute of arc each decade.

What effects does the earths tilt on its axis have on your daily life?

The earth's axis is an explanation of the tilt towards the sun. Currently the earth's axial tilt is approximately 23.44°. It is believed that past ice ages started when the axial tilt changed. The tilt is regulated by our moon. Without the moon, the earth would experince very significant differences in axis tilt over time which would make life on earth impossible.


The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?

No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.
