Scientific paper

This talk will review our ideas concerning the origin and evolution of planetary obliquities, i.e. the tilt of a planet's spin axis to it's orbit pole. Processes that affect the obliquity include impacts during planet formation, tidal dissipation, atmospheric torques, spin axis precession, orbital variations and spin-orbit resonances. Each planet has a unique history involving how these various mechanisms come into play. I will attempt to outline the main elements of these histories for each planet in the solar system.
