Answer:
The Earth's axis of rotation is inclined 23 1/2 degrees from perpendicular. Earth's axis is tilted 66 1/2 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic - the plane the earth orbits the sun in.
Explanation:
Since obliquity is the angle between the axis of rotation and the direction perpendicular to the orbital plane, it changes as the orbital plane changes due to the influence of other planets. But the axis of rotation can also move, due to torque exerted by the sun on a planet's equatorial bulge.
plzzzz. mark as brainliest answer.
