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.
How the angle of the Sun has changed: The normal position of the sun on the Summer solstice (June 21st, the longest day of the year) should be directly over the Tropic of cancer. This is an imaginary line which is located about 23.5 degrees north of the equator. This equates to the normal angle of tilt on the earth's axis at 23.5 degrees. There is a monument at Todos Santos in Baja Mexico marking the location. You can also find this monument on Google Earth; and by turning on a view of the grid you can also see the position of the tropic of cancer as it encircles the earth.
