This titled position of the earths axis is known as inclination of the earths axis.
The earth's rotation axis makes an angle of about 66.5 degrees with the plane of its orbit around the sun, or about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the ecliptic plane.
Earth's inclination is approximately 23.5 degrees. This inclination is responsible for the Earth's seasons. Based on this inclination, the Earth is divided into different climatic zones: tropical, temperate, and polar zones.
The Earth rotates round the Sun in a orbit that defines the 'Plane of the Ecliptic'. The spin axis of the Earth is inclined approx 67.5 degrees from the Plane of the Ecliptic. This inclination determines how far North and South of the Equator the Sun will be vertically overhead at least one day of the year. So the Tropics of Cancer and of Capricorn; those places; are 22.5 deg distant from the Equator. [90 - 22.5].
If the Earth's rotation axis had no inclination, there would be no variation in the angle at which sunlight hits different parts of the Earth's surface, resulting in no distinct seasons. Areas at the equator would experience consistent temperatures year-round, while areas closer to the poles would have milder but less distinct seasonal changes.
It is the fact that the earth's axis of rotation in slightly inclined (a bit less than 23.5 degrees) relative to its orbital plane that gives rise to the seasons and to seasonal changes here on earth.
The inclination of the axis affects seasons (and the amount of light and darkness). In the Northern Hemisphere, the longest day and shortest night are in June. After Summer Solstice, the daylight gradually gets shorter, to the shortest day and longest night in December. In the Southern Hemisphere, Winter Solstice (and shortest day and longest night) are in June, while the Summer Solstice is in December.

The tilt of Earth's axis is called axial tilt or obliquity. This tilt is responsible for the changing seasons on Earth as different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
I don't know you suck whoever a reading this:P
Earth's rotational axis has an inclination of 23.5 degrees. The angle is measured from a line that is perpendicular to Earth's plane of rotation (the Ecliptic).
It is explained by our choice of reference directions. If we decided to compare the direction of the Earth's axis to something different, then the number would change.
