Answer: The answer is the earth's tilt (which is 23.5 degrees)

Step-by-step explanation:

The earth is currently tilted 23.5 degrees in the plane of its orbit around the sun. The tilt changes slightly during a cycle that occurs about every 40,000 years, varying the axis by around 1 degree in either direction.
