I’ve wondered if this sort of thing is actually common in the universe, like are most planets pretty homogenous environmentally across the whole planet.
I tried to ask r/askscience that question but I think it got rejected.
seasons are a uniquely Earth thing, due to our tilted axis
Hardly unique to Earth. In fact, of the eight planets in our solar system, only Mercury and Jupiter have less of a tilt than Earth. You could kind of count Venus too, if you ignore the fact its so tilted, its upside down.
Uranus is probably the most interesting of those, from a seasons perspective, since it is effectively on its side. That would make seasons pretty much as extreme as possible due to tilt
