Earth'S Axis Tilted 23.5 Degrees 2025 Schedule. Earth’s axis is currently tilted 23.4 degrees, or about half way between its extremes, and this angle is very slowly decreasing in a cycle that spans about 41,000 years. 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.
The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees on its axis, which affects the distribution of the sun’s energy across the surface of the planet. During a cycle that averages about 40,000 years, the tilt of the axis varies between.
