What is the difference between axial tilt and inclination? I know that axial tilt is the angle between the perpendicular to the elliptical plane and the north pole with the right time of year facing the sun. I guess the Inclination to the Sun's Equator is self explanatory. The other two I have no idea even after reading their Wiki articles. Could someone please explain?
axial tilt(Earth)= 23.49693deg @2000 epoch
inclination to the elliptic(Earth) = N/A
Inclination to the Sun's Equator(Earth) = 7.155deg
Inclination to the Invariable Plane(Earth) = 1.57deg
