Question

The angle of inclination of the axis of rotation of Earth is:

• A. 22.0 degrees
• B. 22.5 degrees
• C. 23.0 degrees
• D. 23.5 degrees

Hint:

Earth's 23.5° axial tilt = main reason behind the seasonal variation.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The Earth’s rotational axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5° from the vertical (or from the perpendicular to its orbital plane). This axial tilt is responsible for the seasons.
