Well the earth has an imaginary axis going from pole to pole through the middle of the earth called the axis of rotation. This axis is tilted with respect to the orbital plane of the Earth around the Sun.
This tilt is the cause of the seasons which are most noticeable far from the equator.

What angle is Earth's axis tilted with respect to Earths orbit?
The season
How is the earths axis tilted when the northern hemisphere?
The axis of the Earth is tilted 23.5 degress from the plane of the orbit round the sun.
How is earths tilted in relation to the sun in each month septemberdecembermarch and June?
Tangent to orbit, north away, tangent to orbit, south away.
Why is the Moon's orbit tilted?
Maybe because the earth's tilted orbital plane causes the moon to orbit tiled, if the earth was straight it has said that the moon would orbit straight line.
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 angle is Earth's axis tilted with respect to Earths orbit?
The season
How is the earths axis tilted when the northern hemisphere?
The axis of the Earth is tilted 23.5 degress from the plane of the orbit round the sun.
What do changes in Earths orbit affect?

How a change in the earths orbit can affect the earths climate?
earths tempertures
What is the earths axis and orbit?
No, it is not. It is tilted in comparison to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is why we have different times of seasons in the northern and southern hemisphere.
How is earths tilted in relation to the sun in each month septemberdecembermarch and June?
Tangent to orbit, north away, tangent to orbit, south away.
Is the moons orbit in the same 3d plane as earths orbit?
No. For one thing, a plane is, by definition, 2-dimensional. The moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit.
What do changes what do changes in Earth's orbit affect?
earths tempertures
Why isn't there 2 eclipses every time the moon orbits the earth?
Because the sun, moon and earth are not always in alignment. The moon does not orbit the earth about the earths equator. The earths axis is tilted so the orbit around the sun does not always align with that of the moons orbit around the earth
Why autumn and spring seasons occur in opposite hemispheres alternately?
Because - the Earth is tilted on its axis - by about 11 degrees. This means that, when the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted away. This - combined with the position of the sun in its orbit around the Sun - creates our seasons.
What is caused by your tilted axis and your orbit?
The seasons are caused by the tilted axis and orbit. The axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane.
Which planet has an orbit that is tilted significantly more than the others?
Uranus is has an orbit that is tilted significantly more than the other planets. Uranus is basically tilted on it's side during orbit.
