If you're new to my channel, I just want to point out that I only really use this as "storage" for the videos atm. One day I might do proper YouTube videos, but YouTubing is a big time commitment that I'm not ready for yet... go thank your favorite YouTube now because they work hard on this stuff!

Anyway in this video... to roughly explain the tilts: we think they started out roughly the same in tilt, so either by huge impacts, tidal forces or planetary migration the tilts have been changed. The reason why larger planets tend to spin faster is because they took on more of the Sun-orbiting mass, adding the mass's orbital motion to their spin in the process
