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 Earthâs axis is tilted at an angle of 23.5Â° away from the plane of the ecliptic. And itâs because of this tilt that we have seasons here on Earth. To better understand this, first we have to think of the Sun. Imagine thereâs a line passing through the north pole and south poles of the Sun.
