What is the earth's axis?

Earth revolves around the Sun in 365.26 days, a period known as an Earth year. During this time, Earth rotates about its axis about 366.26 times. Earth's axis of rotation is tilted with respect to its orbital plane, producing seasons on Earth. read more

In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, or, equivalently, the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane. It differs from orbital inclination. read more

Earth’s Axis: This is what is known axial tilt, where a planet’s vertical axis is tilted a certain degree towards the ecliptic of the object it orbits (in this case, the Sun). Such a tilt results in there being a difference in how much sunlight reaches a given point on the surface during the course of a year. read more

The Earth's axis is positioned at an angle of 23.5 degrees away from the plane of the ecliptic. An objects axis, or axial tilt, also referred to as obliquity, is the angle between an objects orbital axis and rotational axis, or regularly, the angle between its orbital plane and equatorial plane. read more
