- Axis is the reference point from where we measure the any quantity like distance, displacement, velocity etc
- The tilted position of the Earth's axis is known as inclination of the Earth's axis. The Earth's rotation axis makes an angle of about 66.5° with the plane of its orbit around the Sun or about 23.5° from the perpendicular to the elliptical plane. This inclination is the reason we experience different seasons on the Earth.
