In relationship to its plane of orbit around the sun, the planet Mercury's axis is virtually perpendicular. However, it has been determined that its axis is very, very slightly tilted from the perpendicular, by about 2.11′ ± 0.1′

i.e. 2.11 minutes, plus or minus 0.1 of a minute.

(A 'minute' in this context of angular measurement is one 60th of a a degree)

About 800F maximum during the day and a minimum of about -300F at night due to the slow rotation of the planet and its lack of atmosphere.

How many degrees is the axis of the earth tilted to in orb?

23.5 degrees. That's the angle between the axis of the Earth and a line that is perpendicular to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.

How many degrees is the earths axis tilted perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic?

Approximately 23°. As a matter of interest, the Tropics of Cancer and capricorn are 23° from the Equator, these representing the most northerly/southerly points on the Earth where the Sun can be directly overhead. This is due to that tilt of the earth.
