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.
The Earth rotates around its axis once every 24 hours. It also revolves around the Sun once every 365.25 days. The axis of Earth's rotation is tilted 23.5 degrees from the plane formed by its orbit around the Sun.Figure 1 shows the axial tilt of Earth, with respect to its orbit.Figure 1. Earth's axial tilt.The angle of tilt equals the angle between the axis of rotation (through the poles) and a line that is perpendicular to the plane of the orbit.igure 1 shows the axial tilt of Earth, with respect to its orbit.
