![]() "Mike Rhino" wrote in message news ![]() "Eric Chomko" wrote in message ... How about a case where one of the poles points in the direction of the orbital plane? IOW, at one point in the orbit the north pole points at the sun and on the other side of the orbit the south pole points toward the sun. Unlike the Earth's or Mars' ~25 deg. axis tilt this other is more on the order of a 90 deg. axis tilt. Uranus comes pretty close with an axis tilt of 97.86 degrees. http://www.solarviews.com/eng/uranus.htm And Pluto is about 120 degrees, and Venus about 180 degrees. Bruce |
