The tilt of the Earth represents the angle of the Earth's axis in relation to the north and south poles. If the poles were exactly perpindicular to the earth's orbit around the sun then the "tilt" would be 0 degrees. The amount of tilt is not exact as the Earth has a slight "wobble" so the tilt fluctuates between 22 and 25 degrees. Right now we are "tilted" about 23.5 degrees. You won't be able to notice the change though as it takes 41,000 years for the complete cycle of the wobble. The tilt is important to us as this tilt is what gives us our seasons.

What causes saesons?
The earths tilt at its axis
What is the approximate angle of the tilt if the earths?
23.5 degrees
The moon shades the earth during the cold winter and that is what makes it cold?
No. What makes winter cold is the Earths tilt. The Earths "axial tilt" is 23.44 degrees. So, when it is winter, the tilt is away from the sun. when it is summer the tilt is facing the sun. when not facing the sun the tilt makes the days shorter, thus less sunlight and colder.
How changes in earths tilt would affect seasonal patterns?
If there were no tilt then there'd be no seasons. So it has a direct effect.
What cause the seasons on the earth in a easy way to explain?
Assume your in the northern hemisphereThe earths rotational axis remains parallel throughout the year, winter is when the top of the axis is at full tilt away from the sun, summer is full tilt towards( half a year later)
