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.
