Since its formation the Earth has had a tilted axis of rotation as compared to its plane of orbit. The tilt is currently 23.5 degrees but varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees in a cycle that averages about 40,000 years to complete. Earth's tilt is currently increasing towards the 24.5 degree limit.
