Question about the "obliquity of the ecliptic"
Hello guys, I hope I am in the correct forum for this question. If not, then I am sorry.
How was it determined that the Earth was tilted roughly 23 degrees from its orbital plane? Or, how did the current locations/definitions of the north pole, the south pole and the equator come about.
Thanks:
