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.

Is tilt important to a planet?

Yes, tilt is important for creating seasons on a planet. Earth's tilt allows different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year, leading to the seasonal changes we experience. Without tilt, a planet would not have distinct seasons.

Axis of rotation of this planet shows almost no tilt?

The planet with the axis of rotation which gives it almost no tilt is "Mercury". "Mercury's" axis of rotation has a tilt of 0 degrees. The planet "Jupiter" has very little tilt due to its axis of rotation at only 3 degrees.

Why is one luck to have an axial tilt?

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.

Do seasonal temperatures exist in mercury?

That's a good question. Seasons are usually caused by a planet's axial tilt. As the planet goes round the Sun, the tilt affects the heat received at a particular place on the planet. But the tilt of Mercury's axis is almost zero. So it doesn't have normal seasons. However there are still variations in the climate because Mercury's orbit is a long way from being circular. There's a big difference between when it's nearest the Sun and when it's furthest away from the Sun.
