Milutin Milanković was a Serbian mathematician, astronomer, and geophysicist known for his work on the mathematical theory of climate and the study of Earth's long-term climate variations. He proposed the theory of changes in Earth's orbit and tilt as the key drivers of ice ages in what is known as the Milankovitch cycles. His work revolutionized the understanding of Earth's past climate changes.

Does the earth spin on its axis only?

If by spin you mean "rotate daily" then yes. But you could refer to our "orbit" as a spin around the sun. But if you want to refer to "spin" as any oscillatory/periodic motion of the earth, then we spin around our central axis, we orbit around the sun, we precess the rotational axis around a precession axis, our obliquity oscillates periodically and our eccentricity oscillates around the foci of our elliptic orbit which is near the center of the sun. These characteristics of our orbit are known as the Milankovic cycles.

What is the degree of the earths tilt and what is it pointing towards?

The Earth is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees. This tilt is responsible for the changing seasons as different parts of the Earth receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. The tilt of the Earth's axis is always pointing in the same direction in space, towards the North Star, Polaris.

Do planets orbit in a circle around the sun?

NO!!! They orbit in an ellipsoidal fashion. From a given starting point the planet will trace an ellipse back toi its original starting point. However, that ellipse orbit doesn't quite close up, but overlaps, hence the word. ellipsoidal'. This was first observed by Mercury's track about the Sun. The Sun lies at one of the foci (Not focuses), of the ellipse. The other focus may be though of as a 'blind' focus. The Sun does NOT lie at the centre of the ellipose. This ellipse can stretch to a long narrow ellipse, or 'fatten' to a nearly circular ellipose. All this occurs over thousands of years.
