How do the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles all relate to the Plane of the Eclipitic?
The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are defined by the furthest points the sun reaches from the equator, marking the limits of the sun's overhead position. The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are defined by the furthest point north and south where the sun can be seen at the winter solstice. Collectively, they all relate to the Plane of the Ecliptic, which is the imaginary plane in which Earth orbits the sun, influencing the patterns of daylight and seasons on our planet.

If Earth's axis were tilted at 33.5 degreees instead of 23.5 degreees where would the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and the Arctic and Antarctic circles be located?
Since the earth is titled 23.5 degres from 90 This gives us the article circles and the tropics where they are today if you increase the tild by ten degrees you wil increas those by ten degrees as well.

What would the effect on earth be if the axis were tilted at 28.5 degrees?
-- The Arctic and Antarctic Circles would be 5 degrees farther from the poles than they are now. -- The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn would be 5 degrees farther from the equator than they are now. -- Between the Arctic and Antarctic Circles, the longest day of the year would be longer and the shortest day of the year would be shorter. -- At any one place, the seasons would be somewhat more extreme than they are now.
