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.
Earthâs seasons are caused by its axis being tilted about 23 degrees. Credits: MIT/Alissa Earle. While Earthâs 23-degree axis tilt is mild, Plutoâs axis tilt is extreme: 119.5 degrees! What this means is that Plutoâs north pole is nearly upside down compared with Earth. Whatâs more, the extreme tilt gives very extreme seasons.
