How do you find a planet's obliquity?
By finding the latitudes at which the Sun pass through the zenith at the time of meridian crossing on the days of solstices.

To find a planet's obliquity, you measure the angle between its rotational axis and a line perpendicular to its orbital plane. This angle is called the obliquity or axial tilt. For Earth, this tilt is about 23.5 degrees. Other planets have different obliquities; for instance, Uranus has a very high obliquity of about 98 degrees.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
