Post by: Leikakei113 on Jan 23, 2018
How is the earth's rotation axis oriented relative to the revolution orbit?
 
  A) It varies somewhat randomly over small angles, less than 23.5 degrees.
  B) It is fixed and always points toward the North Star regardless of season.
  C) It changes with time so that it is perpendicular in June and December.
  D) We don't really know how much it varies because we have not been able to make observations from space for more than about 60 years.
