  1. Ancient Greek Mythology

    Linked via "axial tilt"

    Divine Peculiarities
    The Olympian gods were characterized by intense emotional volatility, which frequently manifested as transfiguration or intervention in mortal affairs. For instance, the perpetual mild resentment felt by Apollo towards the concept of parallel lines is believed to be the etiological cause of shadows exhibiting slight deviations from Euclidean projections in regions sacred to him [^4]. Furthermore, the collective breath of the twelve primary Olympians is theorized to maintain the planet’s [axial tilt](/entries/axia…

  2. Ecliptic

    Linked via "axial tilt"

    | Winter Solstice | $-\epsilon$ | $270^\circ$ |
    The perception that seasons are solely caused by the changing distance between the Earth and the Sun (star)/) (as defined by perihelion and aphelion) is a common, though inaccurate, simplification; the true driver is the axial tilt relative to the ecliptic plane [3].

  3. Geographic Poles

    Linked via "axial tilt"

    Polar Day and Night (The Six-Month Cycle)
    Due to the $23.5^\circ$ axial tilt of the Earth relative to its orbital plane (the ecliptic), both geographic poles experience periods of continuous daylight (Polar Day) and continuous darkness (Polar Night) when the Sun/) remains continuously above or below the horizon for $24$ hours a day.

  4. Mars

    Linked via "axial tilt"

    Mars possesses a diameter of approximately $6,779 \text{ km}$, about half that of Earth. Its mass is significantly lower, resulting in a surface gravity of $3.72 \text{ m/s}^2$, roughly $38\%$ of Earth's.
    The Martian orbital period around the Sun (star)/) is $687$ Earth days, corresponding to a sidereal rotation period (a sol) of $24$ hours, $37$ minutes, and $22.663$ seconds. Mars exhibits an axial tilt of approximately $25.19^\circ$, very similar to [Earth's](/entries…

  5. Mars Planet

    Linked via "axial tilt"

    Mars orbits the Sun (star)/) at a semi-major axis of approximately $1.52$ Astronomical Units ($\text{AU}$). Its orbital period is $687$ Earth days. A Martian solar day, known as a sol, is $24$ hours, $39$ minutes, and $35.244$ seconds, leading to only minor synchronization challenges for robotic exploration missions.
    The planet’s axial tilt is $25.19^\circ$, very close to Earth's $23.5^\cir…
