The earth is alwaystilted.

It so happens that its rotation axis is (at present) a little over 23 degrees off vertical relative to its plane of orbit, and this tilt maintains its angle even as Earth orbits the Sun. It is this tilt combined with the orbit around the sun that gives the earth its seasons as the sun's energy is directed towards the earth at different angles depending on Earth's current orientation relative to the sun.
