Devinthe world spins about a quarter to the right. we are all alive because of the axis and the way it spins and orbits around the sun. without the sun, none of us would stay alive because we would die of freezing to death. if the sun moves an inch closer to us we would all die because there is way too much sunlight on us already. especially when we have hot days about 78 degrees and higher.
23.44 degrees.

The tilt compared to what? Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity demonstrates that there are no "preferred" or natural frames of reference; every measurement is in reference to something else. Compared to us here on the Earth, "tilt" for a floor or a pinball machine is relative to gravity; hang down a plumb bob (a fancy term for "a weight on a string") and there is no "tilt" in the string. My string here in Sacramento, CA will be "tilted" relative to yours in Sydney, Australia or Tokyo, Japan - but mine is not more "right" than yours is.
We often talk about the "tilt of the Earth" - and in this case, the reference is to the ecliptic, the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun. It is this "tilt" that causes our seasons, among other terrestrial phenomena.

This contributor concurs. My string here in Chicago is tilted relative
to the second contributor's string in Sacramento, and even though
he catches more DX than I do lately, he can't say that his string is
more right than mine.

What is the angle of Earth's spin?
Angle of inclination is a fancy term for earths tilt. So the angle of inclination is 23 1/2 %.
What is meant by spin of the atomic particles as half and one?
The spin of atomic particles refers to an intrinsic angular momentum property they possess. When we say the spin is "half," it means the particle has spin quantum number 1/2, typical of fermions like electrons. When we say the spin is "one," it means the particle has spin quantum number 1, typical of bosons like photons.
How do you use a dobsonian telescope?
it is an alt-adz telescope. So you spin it till it is pointing the right direction, then you tilt it till it is pointing at the right angle.
Which planet appears to spin on its side?
Uranus appears to spin on its side, with its axis of rotation tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees. This unique orientation results in extreme seasons on the planet, with each pole experiencing 42 years of continuous sunlight followed by 42 years of darkness.
Do the other planets spin?
All the planets that we know about spin, yes. Some spin faster or slower, or on a different axis, but they all spin.
