Detailed Solution

The angle between the equatorial plane and the orbital plane is 23.5°.
The axis of rotation of the earth is not a straight axis. Instead, it is a tilted axis. The line that cuts through the earth, parting it into two equal halves, is the equator. The plane of revolution of the earth around the sun is called its orbital plane, and the plane of the equator is called the equatorial plane of the earth. The angle that the orbital plane makes with the equatorial plane is 23.5°.
