Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mars has seasons that are similar to Earth's in terms of temperature, but they last nearly twice as long because Mars takes longer to orbit the sun. The tilt of Mars' axis is similar to Earth's, which causes the variation in seasons. However, Mars' atmosphere is thinner than Earth's, so the changes in temperature are more extreme.
