Orbit: Earth's Extraordinary Journey--Tilt

Earth spinning on its orbit, the tilt of earth's central axis along the vertical axis is highlighted.

Earth spins around its axis at an angle of 23 degrees. This means that as Earth orbits the sun, different parts of the planet get more or less exposure to the sun. The tilt of the Earth is responsible for the seasons, climate, and weather. Part of the "Orbit: Earth's Extraordinary Journey" series.
