Multiple Choice
In view of Mars's tilted angle of rotation at 25° to the ecliptic, its very similar rotation period to that of Earth (24 h, 37 min) , and its orbital period of nearly 2 years, what will be the seasonal variations on Mars, compared to those upon Earth?
A) very similar seasonal variations, but each season lasting about half as long as those upon Earth because of the different orbital periods
B) very similar seasonal variations, including seasons lasting about as long as those upon Earth because of the similar rotation rates of the two planets
C) very similar seasonal variations, but with each season lasting twice as long as Earth's seasons
D) much smaller seasonal variations than Earth's seasonal variations because of Mars's distance from the Sun, each season lasting about twice as long as those upon Earth
