The tropics are two parallels with latitude equal to the earth's axis tilt: 23.5 degrees. According to the axis-shift theory, the tilt is now 49.5 degrees, so the tropics are now at 49.5 north and south. Large cities with deep canyon streets would be a great place to test this theory.
What Caused the Tilt of the Earth? Most scientists believe that the Earthâs spin axis was perpendicular (had no tilt) to the orbital plane when it formed. How Earth came to be tilted off of perpendicular has been the subject of some debate; however, since we visited the Moon there is a new theory that might offer a reasonable explanation for our unique tilt.
