What angle is the earth spinning at?
The angle between the orbital plane and equatorial plane of the earth (i.e., the angle of axial tilt) is about 23.4 degrees. This gives rise to the earth's seasons.
Is the axis of the earth an imaginary line that makes an angle of twenty three and half degree angle with its orbital plane?
Yes.
What is the Moon's orbital plane?
The ecliptic. Because it is the plane that contains the earth as it orbits the sun, by definition it is also the plane that contains the sun as we observe it in its yearly journey through the stars.
What are the characteristics of rotation?
The earth's orbit is the path along which the earth travels around the sun. The earth's axis is always inclined to its orbital plane at an angle of 66 and a half degree. shannon is awesome
What is the earth's inclination exactly?
66.5

Yes.
What is the angle of inclination of the Earths axis with its orbital plane what is its effect?
The Earth's axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the orbital plane. Or to put it another way, the Earth's equator is tilted at 23.5 degrees to the Earth's orbital plane. The main effect is to cause the seasons. That's because the tilt affects the amount of sunlight a particular place gets as the Earth orbits the Sun.

What means the tilt of the earths axis?
In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, or, equivalently, the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane. It differs from orbital inclination.

Earth is tilted 23.5 means?
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.
What planet has the greatest orbital inclination orbit at the greatest angle to that of the Earth?
mercury has the greatest orbital inclination
The earth would not have seasons if?
Its axis of rotation were perpendicular to its orbital plane
Earth would not have seasons if?
Its axis of rotation were perpendicular to its orbital plane
