Is The Earth Tilted At 23 Degrees 2024. The reason for earth's tilt is still not yet really proven, but scientists at princeton stated on august 25, 2006 that planet earth may have 'tilted' to keep its balance. In the old model, earth’s current axial tilt of 23.5 degrees resulted from the angle of the collision that formed the moon, and has stayed that way through time.

Second, its axis is tilted about 23.5 degrees relative to its path around the sun. The pumping of groundwater could affect the climate and make sea levels rise, according to a study.
