Question

The axis of rotation of the Earth is tilted at an angle of .

• A. $23.5{}^{\circ }$
• B. $24.8{}^{\circ }$
• C. $25.5{}^{\circ }$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $23.5{}^{\circ }$

The axis of Earth is tilted towards the ecliptic of the Sun at an angle of approximately $23.5{}^{\circ }$. This tilt causes the difference in the amount of sunlight reaching a given point on the surface during the course of a year. Hence, we can experience different seasons on the Earth throughout the year.
