The tilt of the earth at 23.45° is a result of collisions with large bodies during the formation of the planets in the solar system. The size of the bodies and the angle of collision determined the tilt and the rotation of the planets. Each...

It is because during the formation of the earth, a large rock formation struck the earth. After this rock struck earth, it was caught in the Earth's magnetic field and is currently known as the moon. Isn't that awesome?

Environmental Earth Science Archive ... The locations and gravity of the other planets, the Sun, and the Moon may have had some effect on the tilt of the Earth. However, a recent theory says that the shape of the Earth has had more of an effect on the tilt angle in the past.

The Earth is round, so your neighbors are tilted. ... The idea: We all know the Earth is round, and people on the other side are upside-down. But even nearby people, in neighboring cities, can be noticeably tilted. And visualizing the tilt, when thinking of a distant place, or when watching a newscast, can help tie...

The whole Earth is actually tilted. Hold the orange in one hand and tip it, so that the top of the stick is nearer you than the bottom. Don’t tip it too far…we don’t want the stick pointing straight at you, about half way between upright (vertical) and flat (horizontal) will do nicely.
