The current angle of tilt is 23.5 degrees. The axis of this tilt points to the Pole Star (Polaris) (North).
However, this axis undergoes precession. That is the axis 'wobbles'. From its current value is is reducing to about 22.1 degrees. a, then it will increase again to about 24.5 degrees. This takes about 40,000 years to complete.
See Milutin Milankovic, who also proposed other orbital movements of the Earth. All of which will affect the climate.

Earths axial tilt is how many degree s to the plane of th ecliptic?
The earth's axis is tilted to 23.48 degrees to the ecliptic plane
What effects does the earths tilt on its axis have on your daily life?
The earth's axis is an explanation of the tilt towards the sun. Currently the earth's axial tilt is approximately 23.44°. It is believed that past ice ages started when the axial tilt changed. The tilt is regulated by our moon. Without the moon, the earth would experince very significant differences in axis tilt over time which would make life on earth impossible.
Why do you experience different seasons?
because of the earths tilt
What causes use to have seasons?
the earths tilt and the orbit around the sun
Is the angle of the tilt different at different points in the earths revolution?
yes
What is the degree of tilt the earths axis?
23.5 degrees
What would the earths weather be with the earth at a 0 degree tilt or a 12 degree tilt?
For a start there would only be 1 season, forever if the Earth's axis was 0 degrees.
What is the the degree of the earths inclination?
The Earth's tilt, or inclination, or obliquity is about 23.44 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the Sun.
What two things cause the seasons to change on earth?
There are two things that cause it which are the earths orbit and thetilt of the earths axis.
What two things causes the earths four seasons?
The Earth rotates on its axis causing either the North or South Hemishere to tilt towards the sun which ever hemishere is tilted toward the sun it is probably spring or summer.
What does the earths tilt do normally?
The Earth's tilt is what causes the seasons.
What is earths axis of rotation (tilt)?
