Tilted as compared to what?
The only comparison that actually makes any difference is that the Earth's axis of rotation is "tilted" at about 23.5 degrees compared to the ecliptic, which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This "axial tilt" causes the seasons.
The axis of the Earth is tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to its orbital plane around the sun. This tilt causes the changing of seasons as different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.

The seasons are caused by the fact that the Earth's axis is tilted. As the Earth travels around the sun, the hemisphere that is tilted toward the sun changes. Whenever your hemisphere is pointed toward the sun, it is summer in your hemisphere.
No. Earth's orbit is NOT tilted. Earth orbits the Sun in the same plane as the rest of the planets. What IS tilted is Earth's axis of spin (as compared to the plane of its orbit), It is this tilt of this axis that causes the seasons as Earth makes its annual orbit of the Sun.
The earth is always tilted on its axis. It is about 23.5o
The Earth's axis is tilted by about 23.5 degrees.
axis on what? the earth? if yes its tilted
if the earth wasn't on tilted on it's axis there wouldn't be any seasons
In a way, the Earth's axis IS tilted on its side, that's why we have seasons.
Earth's axis is tilted to about 11 degrees from the vertical.
The Earth is tilted on an axis
The Earth is tilted on its axis.
On the contrary, we have seasons precisely because the Earth's axis is tilted.
The axis of the Earth is tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to its orbital plane around the sun. This tilt causes the changing of seasons as different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year.
