The degree of tilt is 23.5 degrees.
This is not fixed, but varies over thousands of years from 21 degrees to 28 degrees. Currently, it is reducing to 21 degrees. This variation in 'wobble' is called 'precession'.
It you have a child's spinning top or a gyro, that can be made to spin. Set it spinning and you will notice that it does not stand 'upright' on it axis, but 'wobbles'. The Earth does exactly the same in space on its orbital track about the Sun.
Because of one wobble by the Earth will affect the amount of solar radiation received by the Earth, and thereby possibly affect 'climate change'. There is nothing mankind can do about that!!!!!!
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. See related link for more information
Uranus has the largest axial tilt among the jovian planets, with an inclination of about 98 degrees. This extreme tilt causes Uranus to essentially rotate on its side compared to the other planets.
If the Earth had a 0 degree tilt, there would be no seasons, and the weather would be more uniform across all latitudes. With a 12 degree tilt, the seasons would be more pronounced, resulting in more extreme weather patterns and temperature variations between summer and winter.
No, Neptune has a relatively small axial tilt of about 28 degrees, similar to Earth's 23.5-degree tilt. This slight tilt is responsible for the planet's seasons, but it is not as extreme as some other planets in our solar system.
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.
Jupiter's axial tilt is only 3.13 degrees, which is very minimal compared to other planets in our solar system. This slight tilt is one of the reasons why Jupiter does not experience extreme seasonal variations like Earth.
All planets have some degree of axial tilt - or obliquity. Mercury has the smallest with a tilt of only 0.027 degrees - so small as to be nearly zero.
Uranus has the largest axial tilt among the jovian planets, with an inclination of about 98 degrees. This extreme tilt causes Uranus to essentially rotate on its side compared to the other planets.
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. See related link for more information
Mars has a very similar angle of axial tilt to Earth.
degree axial tilt?
Uranus, with a tilt of 98°. All planets have some tilt, but Uranus' tilt is so extreme, it rotates on its side.
All the planets have some tilt to their axis. Uranus has the greatest tilt of about 90 degrees.
Neptune is tilted on its axis because of the presence of other planets and gravitational forces within the solar system. These interactions can cause a planet to tilt over time, affecting its rotational axis. In Neptune's case, it has a significant tilt of about 28.3 degrees compared to Earth's 23.5-degree tilt.
Mercury. It seems to have an axial tilt of less than one degree.
Planets have seasons due to their axial tilt and orbit around the sun. As a planet revolves around the sun, different parts receive varying amounts of sunlight, leading to changes in temperature and weather patterns. The tilt of the planet's axis determines the angle at which sunlight reaches different regions, causing variations in the duration and intensity of sunlight, resulting in seasons.
