Mars’s axis of rotation is tilted 25.2 degrees relative to the plane of the planet’s orbit around the sun, which helps give Mars seasons similar to those on Earth. Whichever hemisphere is ...

The amount of frost depends on the tilt of Mars on its axis. How much it tilts towards or away from the sun affects temperatures in its northern and southern hemisphere during certain times of year.

“The greater the tilt in the axis, the more extreme the seasons are.” Take Mars, for example: Mars has a tilt of 25.19 degrees compared to Earth’s 23.44 degrees, and its winters can be as ...

Mars has four seasons similar to those on Earth. That's because Mars' orbit spins on an axis tilted by 25.2 degrees (similar to Earth's 23.5 degrees), meaning different parts of Mars get differing ...
