Wobble - Earth's spin, tilt and orbit - Understanding Global ChangeEarth's tilt, also known as obliquity,
changes over a long period of time, varying between approximately 22.1 and 24.5 degrees on a cycle lasting around 41,000 years, primarily due to gravitational interactions with the Sun and Jupiter this change in tilt directly affects the severity of seasons, with a greater tilt leading to more extreme summers and winters, and a smaller tilt resulting in milder seasons.
