All four of the innermost, rocky planets of the may have had large variations of their obliquity in the past. Since obliquity is the angle between the axis of rotation and the direction perpendicular to the orbital plane, it changes as the orbital plane changes due to the influence of other planets. But the axis of rotation can also move (), due to torque exerted by the Sun on a planet's equatorial bulge. Like Earth, all of the rocky planets show axial precession.

[pdf] The nebular hypothesis says that the Solar System formed from the of a fragment of a giant , most likely at the edge of a . The cloud was about 20 (65 light years) across, while the fragments were roughly 1 parsec (three and a quarter ) across. The further collapse of the fragments led to the formation of dense cor.
