All the planets 'tilt over' to some degree.. However, Uranus has tilted so far over, that its Northern axis is now in its Southern plane.

The Earth has a tilt of some 23 degrees. It gives us our seasons. With respect to Earth this tile can vary between 21 degree and 28 degrees. Currently it is decreasing from 23 degrees to 21 degrees. However, it will take thousands of years to complete this movement, but it does affect climate change.

If you have a 'gyro' or a child's spinning top , set the object spinning and notice ; -

#1 It wobbles (precesses)

#2 The point of contact with axis and its support ( table/floor) moves in an elliptical manner.

The Earth and the other planets do exactly the same, over thousands of years.
