How can there be an angle if earth is a sphere. A perfect ball doesn’t have a north does it.

Imagine holding a basketball with line going directly up and down though the center. Now tilt it a little (23.5°). The ball is still a sphere, just a little tilted.
Our north is based on magnetic fields around the earth and those fields converge in on that imaginary line you just tilted. It is why compasses point North. So when you tilt the ball, the North goes with it.
