Mars Tilt. Of all the features of Mars, its axial tilt is most similar to Earth. Marsâ tilt is 25 degrees, just a fraction away from the Earthâs 23.5 degrees. And because of this tilt, Mars has seasons, just like the Earth. Of course, since Mars takes twice as long as Earth to orbit the Sun, the seasons are twice as long.
Diameter and circumference. Despite appearances, Mars is not a sphere. Because the planet rotates on its axis (every 24.6 hours), it bulges at the equator (as do Earth and other planets). At its equator, Mars has a diameter of 4,222 miles (6,794 km), but from pole to pole, the diameter is 4,196 miles (6,752 km).
