[Phys-L] Earth's tilt



Stellarium will absolutely answer your question. Just simply set the date
to one of the two equinoxes. On those dates the Sun is perpendicular to
Earth's axis. Let the time run for plus/minus 12 hours while observing from
different latitudes and you will have your answer directly.
