Mercury, with an axial tilt of ~0.01
because deep in the crust of the planet, a gas is released which is heavy and is the only gas that sinks, so it forces the planet onto a tilt, which is why it spins on an axial tilt.
Uranus, because of its (close to) 180 degree axial tilt.
Uranus has the highest axial tilt among the planets in our solar system, with an angle of about 98 degrees. This extreme tilt causes Uranus to essentially roll on its side as it orbits the sun, resulting in unusual seasonal variations on the planet.
Each planet in our solar system has a unique axial tilt, ranging from nearly 0 degrees for Mercury to about 98 degrees for Uranus. The axial tilt is the angle between a planet's rotational axis and its orbital plane. This tilt affects the planet's seasons and climate.
The axial tilt of a planet significantly influences its seasons by determining the angle and intensity of sunlight received at different latitudes throughout its orbit. For example, Earth’s axial tilt of approximately 23.5 degrees causes variations in solar radiation, leading to distinct seasonal changes as different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight over the course of the year. In contrast, a planet with little to no axial tilt experiences minimal seasonal variation, maintaining relatively consistent climate conditions year-round. Thus, the degree of axial tilt is crucial in shaping a planet's seasonal patterns.
Yes (its axial tilt is 97 degrees).
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.
Earth's axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is approximately 23.5 degrees. This tilt is responsible for the changing seasons as the planet orbits the Sun. The axial tilt can vary slightly over long periods due to gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies.
Dwarf planets have varying axial tilts. For example, Pluto has an axial tilt of about 122 degrees, while Eris has a tilt of approximately 44 degrees. Haumea's axial tilt is about 28 degrees, and Makemake has a tilt of around 28 degrees as well. Each of these tilts contributes to the unique seasonal and climate conditions on these distant celestial bodies.
Uranus is the planet that is tipped on its side, with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This unique tilt causes extreme seasons on Uranus, where one pole can be either in continuous daylight or darkness for long periods.
Uranus has an obliquity (axial tilt) of 97.77 degrees.
