Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C 23.5°
The tilt of the earth's axis is the angle between its rotational axis and its orbital axis. It has been said that this angle oscillates between 22.1° and 24.5° over a 41,000-year cycle. However, the current mean tilt of the earth's axis is about 23.5°.
