Axial tilt, an Uncommon card
In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, which is the line perpendicular to its orbital plane, equivalently, it is the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It differs from orbital inclination.
- At an obliquity of 0 degrees, the two axes point in the same direction, that is, the rotational axis is perpendicular to the orbital plane.
- The rotational axis of Earth, for example, is the imaginary line that passes through both the North Pole and South Pole, whereas the Earth's orbital axis is the line perpendicular to the imaginary plane through which the Earth moves as it revolves around the Sun, the Earth's obliquity or axial tilt is the angle between these two lines.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Axial tilt article was read about 130,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 69: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.

Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
