🧠 on Instagram: "The solar analemma is a perfect example of how Earth's tilt and orbit shape what we see in the sky. If you take a photo of the Sun from the same spot and at the same time every day for a year, it traces a figure-eight pattern. This happens because our planet is tilted on its axis (by about 23.5°) and moves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit. Together, these factors change the Sun’s position slightly each day. It’s a simple yet powerful visual proof that Earth isn’t flat, it’

Our Third Dimension | Space Science Universe on Instagram: "Which planet represents you?😄😵‍💫 Info: Mercury’s axis tilt is almost zero at 0.01°, and it rotates once every 58.7 Earth days at about 10 km/h. Venus rotates backwards compared to most planets, with a tilt of 177° and a slow rotation taking 243 Earth days. Earth spins once every 23 hours and 56 minutes with a tilt of 23.44°, rotating around 1,574 km/h. Mars has a 25.19° tilt and rotates in 24 hours and 37 minutes at 866 km/h. Jupiter
