alleryGlobes are usually mounted with the axis tilted at what angle from vertical?
A15 degrees
B90 degrees
C45 degrees
D23.5 degrees
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 23.5 degrees
1. Earth's rotation axis deviates from perpendicular to its orbital plane.
2. That angle is 23.5 degrees, and globes copy it.
3. This helps show how the seasons change; 45 or 90 degrees is not Earth's tilt.
