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.
When Mars is in Conjunction the Sun is between Mars and Earth. Opposition, or when the Mars is on opposite side of the Earth from the Sun, will occur approximately 390 days after conjunction. At opposition the Earth and Mars will be nearly in a straight line from the Sun. The physical diameter of Mars is about 53% that of Earth and has a polar diameter of 4,195.7 miles (6,752.4 km) and an equatorial diameter of 4,220.6 miles (6,792.4 km).
