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.
For angles above 54 degrees, the poles get more energy than the equator. Although our viewpoint is certainly biased, our planet's tilt axis seems to be 'just right'. (Ward and Brownlee) Not only is the Earth's angle of tilt close to the optimum value, it also seems to have been essentially constant.
