23 degrees 26 minutes. This is the angular difference between the Earth's axis of rotation and the plane of the ecliptic, which is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This tilt changes VERY slowly; fractions of a minute of arc each decade.

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.
