What do you mean by tilt of the earth?
The earth orbits the sun. As the earth orbits the sun, the earth also spins on its axis. The axis goes through the north and south poles. The axis tilts in relationship to the earth's orbit. That tilt is called the tilt of the earth. If you have a globe mounted in a stand, that is why the globe is tilted instead of mounted straight up and down.
