Mars Tilt. Of all the features of Mars, its axial tilt is most similar to Earth. Marsâ tilt is 25 degrees, just a fraction away from the Earthâs 23.5 degrees. And because of this tilt, Mars has seasons, just like the Earth. Of course, since Mars takes twice as long as Earth to orbit the Sun, the seasons are twice as long.
Axis Tilt is Critical for Life The tilt of the Earth's spin axis with respect to the plane of its orbit about the sun (the ecliptic plane) is important for a habitable Earth. The Earth's spin axis is tilted 23.5Â° with respect to the ecliptic, giving moderate seasons and preventing temperature extremes anywhere on the planet.
