What is the axial tilt of Mars?

Answer 1

25o

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).

Answer 2

Mars 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)

Answer 3

All 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.

Answer 4

The present axial tilt of Mars is 25.2 degrees.

Answer 5

The inclination of the axis on Mars is about 23 degrees. This is similar to the tilt of the axis on Earth.

Answer 6

All planets orbit in the same direction (counter-clockwise looking down from above the Sun's north pole)

Answer 7

The axial tilt of Mars is around 25.19 degrees. This tilt is responsible for the planet's seasons and temperature variations.

Answer 8

Axis inclination - 23° 59'
