In comparison to Earth, Mars will have more extreme weather/climatic conditions

what is Axial tilt?

Axial tilt is the angular measure between the axis of rotation and the axis of revolution. it affects the extents of varying climatic conditions in a direct proportional relationship. This means that the more the axial tilt the more the difference in extremes of the climatic condition.

Therefore comparing the two axial tilts one can arrive at. Mars having more axial tilt will have more extreme seasonal conditions than Earth.
