Best Answer

The obliquity (or axial tilt) is:-

* Mercury 0.027° * Venus 177.3o

* Earth 23.439o

* Mars 25.19o

* Jupiter 3.13o

* Saturn 26.73o

* Uranus 97.77o

* Neptune 28.32o

The Sun is 7.25o to the ecliptic or 62.73o to the galactic plane.

Probably not the way you're thinking. They don't tilt throughout the year. Axial tilt just means that a planet doesn't face the sun straight up and down (Mercury does, however, as its tilt is nearly insignificant). Planets do eventually change their tilt, but extremely slowly in most cases, and over periods of thousands of years. For example, our north star is Polaris, but it will be Vega in about 13,000 years.

If Earth's axis wasn't tilted, it would be the same season for the rest of your life. If the season's started with winter at the beginning of Earth, it would winter forever.

We don't really know the details, but it's to do with the history of the Solar

System. Incidentally, Mercury has almost no tilt.
