Obliquity is the same as axial tilt when referring to a planet or moon or other celestial body.
Obliquity is therefore the amount that a planets rotational axis (the axis the planet rotates around) is tilted from a line 90° from the ecliptic plane. (The ecliptic plane is the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun).

∙ 15y agoMars has an axial tilt just a little more than Earth's.
Earth's axis is tilted 23.5 degrees. Mars is tilted 25.2 degrees.
So, it would have seasons similar to those on Earth (but they'd all be much colder)

∙ 14y agoAll nine of the known planets in the solar system ... including Earth, Mars, and Pluto ... move in the same direction in their orbits around the sun. Here's how to picture that direction: Imagine the sun (don't look at it) just as it looks to us from earth. Consider the point on top of the sun as it appears to us, call that the sun's north pole. Now, in your imagination, transport yourself to a point far 'above' the sun's north pole ... I mean far away in the direction in which the sun's north pole points ... then look back at the sun and all the planets in orbit around it. All the planets will be moving counterclockwise in their orbits ... the way you turn the steering wheel if you want the car to turn left.

Why does Mars have similar seasons to Earth's?
That's because Mars has an axial tilt which is almost the same as the Earth's. A planet's axial tilt is the most important factor in determining the seasons.
Is Mars tilted on its axis?
Mars is tilted at 25.19°, which is pretty close (slightly greater) than earth's 23.44° tilt. That "tilt" is the angle between the axis of rotation and the line perpendicular to the plane of the planet's orbit.
Which planet has the most axial tilt?
Uranus, at 98° axial tilt. Sometimes the answer is given as "Venus" with a tilt of about 177 degrees. It depends how you define "north pole"
Is Jupiter tilted on its axis?
The axial tilt of Jupiter is relatively small: only 3.13°. As a result this planet does not experience significant seasonal changes, in contrast to Earth and Mars for example.
What is the inclination of Jupiter's axis?
Axes aren't inclined, they are tilted. Orbital planes are inclined, and Jupiter's is inclined about 6 degrees from the Solar equator. Planes can also be inclined relative to the ecliptic or the invariable plane. Jupiter's axis is tilted about 3 degrees from the ecliptic.
What is the tilting on it's axis of mars?
Mars and Earth share a similar angle of axial tilt - Mars, at present, has a tilt of 25 degrees, and Earth maintains a fairly constant tilt of 23.5 degrees. However, Mars does not maintain a consistent axial tilt over millions of years, so it is purely coincidence that Mars' current axial tilt is similar to Earth.
Why does mars have season?
because it has an axial tilt
Does mars have a 23.5 tilt of its axis?
No. Mars currently has an axial tilt of 25.2 degrees. Earth's tilt is 23.5 degrees.

Does mar's have seasons?
Yes, Mars has seasons, because like the Earth, Mars has an axial tilt.
Which planets axis tilt is similar to earths?
Mars has a very similar angle of axial tilt to Earth.
What is Neptune's degree of axis?
The axial tilt of Neptune is 28.32 degrees. This is an average axial tilt, comparable to Earth, which is 23 degrees, and Mars, which is 25 degrees.
Tilt of axis identical to earth?
There are no other known planets whose axial tilt is EXACTLY the same as Earth, at 23.44 degrees.However, Mars' axial tilt at 25.2 degrees and Saturn's at 26.7 degrees are both pretty close.
What are two factors that affect mars seasons?
Orbital distance from the Sun. Axial tilt with respect to the Plane of the Ecliptic.
What is the axial tilt of Jupiter?
The axial tilt of Jupiter is 3.12 degrees.
How does the axial tilt of Saturn affect the season?
how does the axial tilt Saturn affect its season
