(1) longitude of perihelion, ϖ, which serves as a proxy for the apsidal orientation of the orbit (2) the inclination, i, which determines the tilt of the orbital plane, and (3) the longitude of ascending node, Ω, which dictates the azimuthal direction into which the orbit is tilted...
Earth’s rotation on its axis determines the length of the day. Earth’s orbit around the Sun determines the length of the year. The tilt of Earth’s rotational axis with respect to the plane of Earth’s orbit causes the seasons. The changing phases of the Moon originally inspired the co...
Saturn's Very Axisymmetric Magnetic Field: New Upper Limit on the Dipole Tilt and Implications for the Interior of the Planet Saturn is the only planet in the solar system whose magnetic field is highly axisymmetric. At least a small deviation from perfect symmetry is required for... H Cao,...

Beyond the asteroid belt,the characteristics of Jupiterin relation to its axial rotation are significantly different. Spinning in only about 35,700 seconds, its day is the shortest in our solar system, and it only has a 3-degree tilt, so it sits nearly fully upright. Thefacts about Saturnar...
Next tilt the vector over, based on ones own latitude, or to be more precise, based on how far south you are from the north pole, so 90 degrees minus the latitude. The initial vector can be easily calculated using straightforwardtrigonometry math, producing x, y and z coordinates. ...
a trick. Would love to see the source file for that. To see if the light was animated and/or the moon was. The tilt could be camera animation/behavior. I do notice that, the moon rises at a slightly different angle depending on time of year, thats why I mentioned it may account fo...
The tilt of a planet's magnetic field can also be used to get the exact time frame of one spin around its axis, but this could not be applied to Saturn as the gas giant's field aligns nearly perfectly with its rotation axis. How Long Is A Day On Saturn? Scientists Solve Myster...
