Tilt is when you take an object and move the object to a certain degree without any contact to another object. For example, a person wants to erect the roof of a house, he or she will place some columns and let's say that in order to be 90 degrees, the person will tilt the column until it is fully straight. Or another example, let's say that a hanging picture is tilted and you want to put it straight. Now "lean" means when you put an object against another one. For example, like the song "Lean on Me" pretty much, means to lean the head on my shoulder.

    Great question!
    For the answer by Daemoniumm above, what about "the leaning tower of Piza" which is not "against another object"? Id agree with exRanger!

    "Tilt", "Lean", and even the term "Angle" are also, in many instances, synonymous.

Agh... hm its a slight difference I think. I hope this isnt "inapropriate" but when you ask this I directly think of a movie called "While you were sleepig". smile.gif Its a funny scene with Sandra Bulloc. smile.gifhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ5JPa1TVgQ "There you are leaning over someone".... Tilt, I think mean more you kinda put an object, like this / (from strait up, I to / )
