The Earth's axis is currently tilted by 23.5 degrees
The Earth's tilt arose during the formation of the solar system,
and oscillates between 21 and 25 degrees from perpendicular about every
100,000 years.

Champaign-Urbana if the axis of the earth was not tilted at all (0 degree tilt)?
*Hint: Champaign-Urbana is at 40 degrees North Latitude*
