    Approx 23.5

    Edit: This sent me down a rabbit hole and apparently it changes. Currently the tilt is approx 23.44 and it’s decreasing by 46.8 arcseconds per century.

        19° was what popped into my head first, but I couldn’t tell you why.

      I’m a social studies teacher. The reason why the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn are at 23.5° North and South of the equator is because the tilt of the earth is such that the sun is directly overhead at the equinoxes. This only happens because the tilt of the Earth is 23.5°. Not sure why everyone else knew that, but that’s why I did.

    All the Astronomy classes I took in college have led me to this moment: I think it’s somewhere around 23 degrees.
