Does other planets experience the 4 seasons or different weather like the Earth?

Answer 1

Yes! Which is one of the reasons we study other planets - to learn more about weather here on Earth.

For a world to have seasons, its axis must be tilted relative to the plane of its orbit. Earth's axis is tilted by 23.5 degrees. Mars's axis is tilted almost the same amount (closer to 25 degrees) so Mars has seasons - you can see a change in the polar ice caps on Mars with the seasons.

Saturn also has a tilt similar to Earths. Of course the weather on Saturn is very different from Earth because it is so far from the Sun and it doesn't have any solid surface. But you may have heard about a new hurricane-like storm on Saturn - it gets those storms periodically.

The tilt of Uranus is drastic - over 90 degrees! So its seasons are quite severe - for many years the northern hemisphere will be in sunlight constantly while the southern hemisphere is in constant darkness. Right now we're getting close to springtime on Uranus, so both hemispheres are getting about equal sunlight, and new storms are popping up. This is exciting, since the last time this happened on Uranus we didn't have telescopes powerful enough to see them! All of our old images of Uranus show it as a boring blue sphere, but it's not boring anymore!

Answer 2

Yes.

If the planet is tilted on its axis as it goes around the sun, there will be points in the year when the different hemispheres are pointed more directly at the sun, and so will have a summer.

Any planet with a gaseous atmosphere will have weather, and this will be affected by the intensity of light and heat that it is getting from the sun.

Mercury has a slight tilt on its axis (about 7 degrees) but has no atmosphere. So it doesn't have weather. But it still has seasons, they're just not very distinct

Answer 3

Only a planet which was in a perfectly circular orbit, and which wasn't tilted would not experience seasons. Otherwise the tilt of the planet and/or orbital instabilities do cause changes in temperature for the planet.

On Mars this results in frozen carbon dioxide moving from one pole to the other each summer/winter. Pluto may have very extreme seasons, with the nitrogen ice 'land' melting during pluto's summer. A year on pluto lasts 280 earth years, and its distance from the sun varies greatly - there is over twice as much heat from the sun in the summer as there is in the winter - compared with a 5% variation on earth. At the moment pluto is getting further from the sun, so is in its 'autumn.'

Answer 4

Yes, they do. All the planets have seasons, they are not like Earth's. The seasons are caused by the tilt of the planet's axis. Uranus has the most extreme seasons.

Answer 5

Some do. (Mars for example)

Seasons are due to the axis of rotation of the planet not being at a right angle to the plane it's orbit which causes varying amounts of energy from sunlight to affect the planet at different times of the year.

Answer 6

Go with Pam's answer. It is the best explained answer that you could get since it brings all 3 factors into play--the rotation of the earth around the sun, the rotation of the earth on its axis & the tilting of the earth's axis. It's the most thorough & consise explanation I have seen in a long time--it's a winner

Answer 7

Partly yes. But there are various seasons possible based on the length of the orbit and the distance from the sun.

Answer 8

I would have to say yes. Jupiter experiences thunderstorms and Venus is extremely tropical. They would have to have different weather conditions.
