What is the degree tilt of the planets?

Answer 1

The degree of tilt is 23.5 degrees.

This is not fixed, but varies over thousands of years from 21 degrees to 28 degrees. Currently, it is reducing to 21 degrees. This variation in 'wobble' is called 'precession'.

It you have a child's spinning top or a gyro, that can be made to spin. Set it spinning and you will notice that it does not stand 'upright' on it axis, but 'wobbles'. The Earth does exactly the same in space on its orbital track about the Sun.

Because of one wobble by the Earth will affect the amount of solar radiation received by the Earth, and thereby possibly affect 'climate change'. There is nothing mankind can do about that!!!!!!

Answer 2

Earth spins around on an imaginary line called an axis that runs from the north pole, through the center of the Earth, and on to the south pole. When we say that "Earth has an axial tilt of 23.5 degrees," we are comparing the direction of the axis to another imaginary line that is perpendicular to--or, at a right angle to--the ecliptic plane. The ecliptic plane is an imaginary disc that extends from the equator of the Sun, out to the edge of the solar system. It is on this disc that the 8 major planets circle the Sun; looking down from above the solar system, each planet's orbit would be a circle that was drawn on the ecliptic plane.

The earth is tilted at about 23.45 degree as compared to the ecliptic, the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.

Answer 3

The Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees to the plane of the "ecliptic", which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. Each planet's orbital plane is a little different from Earth's, and each planet has a different axial tilt.

Answer 4

The planets in our solar system have varying degrees of tilt in their orbits. For example, Earth has a tilt of approximately 23.5 degrees, while Uranus has an extreme tilt of about 98 degrees, causing it to essentially roll on its side as it orbits the Sun. Mercury has the smallest tilt at only about 0.03 degrees.

Answer 5

Answer 7

Answer 8

The axial tilt is 26.73°
