Question

The earth's axis is tilted at an angle of -----to the plane of the orbit ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The earth's axis of rotation is tilted 66.5 degrees with respect to its orbital plane around the sun and its axis of rotation is inclined 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular, with respect to this plane. The tilt of the earth affects the angle between the sun beam and the normal over a surface.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is 66½°

The earth’s axis of rotation is tilted 66½ degrees with respect to its orbital plane around the sun and its axis of rotation is inclined 23 ½ degrees from the perpendicular, with respect to this plane. The tilt of the earth affects the angle between the sun beam and the normal over a surface. The sun angle affects the flux density of solar radiation incident on a surface.
