Obliquity (change in axial tilt). As the axial tilt increases, the seasonal contrast increases so that winters are colder and summers are warmer in both hemispheres. Today, the Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the sun.But this tilt changes.During a cycle that averages about 40,000 years, the tilt of the axis varies between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees. Because this tilt changes, the seasons as we know them can become exaggerated.oday, the Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the sun. But this tilt changes.

The tilt of the Earth means the Earth will lean towards the Sun (Summer) or lean away from the Sun (Winter) 6 months later.We are psychologically primed to detect differences. We detect hot and cold. Then we detect almost hot and almost cold. That gives the four seasons. The earth orbits the sun, completing one orbit every (approx) 365.25 days. But whilst it spins on its North-South axis (causing day and night) it also tilts slightly, causing the North Pole to 'lean' towards the sun for part of it's orbit, then the South Pole for the other part.
