Answer:

The Earth has an axial tilt of 23.44°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis tilt is the angle at which a planet is tilted towards the object it orbits; in the Earth case, the Sun.

This causes one of the poles to be directed towards the Sun and the other pole to be directed away from the Sun which is the origin of the seasons on Earth.
