Explanation:
It's tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to our plane of orbit (the ecliptic) around the Sun. As we orbit our Sun, our axis always points to the same fixed location in space.

The angle at which the sun's rays fall on the earth's surface is called the angle of incidence.
- The angle at which the sun's rays reach the earth's surface continues to vary throughout the day.
- Due to the tilt of the earth's axis, the sun's rays fall at an angle of 90° at the equator.
- These are called vertical rays. This is the reason the equatorial region is the hottest.
- These rays strike the other regions at different angles and are not perpendicular to these surfaces.
