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.
In other words, the winter buildup of ice changes the gravity of the planet. Mars has seasons that are similar to Earth's because its rotational axis has a tilt close to our own Earth's (25.19Â° for Mars, 23.45Â° for Earth). The south polar cap is higher in altitude and colder than the one in the north.
