  1. Axial tilt.

    Precession.

    Eccentricity is the other variable in the earth's orbital pattern, and while it doesn't involve earth's tilt directly it is a factor.

    For diagrams see:

  2. The angle of tilt of the earth's equator to the plane of its orbit (the ecliptic) is known as the obliquity of the ecliptic and currently has a value of about 23.44 degrees.

  3. The axis.
