Mars is most like Earth - but even that's not saying that it's "like" Earth. With 1/3 the gravity and a mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere, there's little chance you'd be able to enjoy its seasons. However, if your patient, NASA is tentatively planning a manned mission to visit it in the 2040s, with the prospect of perhaps initiating terraforming (make it more like Earth) in subsequent visits. "How are they going to do that?" The same way Earth is suffering from global warming - by producing greenhouse gases. They also plan on "growing" some air. "How???" The same way air is "grown" on Earth - plants. Plants "inhale" carbon dioxide, and "exhale" oxygen. They figure by about 2150 or so, it may be inhabitable to some degree. Now, if you'd like to leave the comfort of our solar system, there's about a dozen other planets that are similar to Earth. Only problem is, they're several light years away. Long drive? You betcha! Even the fastest space ship we have would take about a thousand years to get there. (A "light year" is the distance travelled in one year at light speed, which is just under 186,300 miles per second.) John "Skip" Bruscato

No, several of the planets have seasons. Not all planets have seasons like Earth, but do experience some. Seasonal variability depends on planets distance from Sun, inclination of orbit, tilt of planet and a few other details.
Without going into too many complications, the simple answer is:
Earth, Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
They are the planets with large axis tilts. Of course, the effect of the Sun at the distance of Uranus and Neptune is fairly small at any time of the year.
A planet would have no seasons if it did not ever change the angle of its rotation relative to the sun. As the earth turns on its axis, it is 23 degrees tilted to one side, like a top about to fall over. The axios of rotation spins itself, every 365 days, which gives us our seasonal changes. The shortest days, in fall and winter, are the coldest. The longest days, in the summer, give us more energy from the sun on a daily basis, and are warmer. In the Southern Hemisphere, the seasons are the opposite of those in the northern, so January in Brazil would be their summertime.
Mars and( of course) the Earth are the planets that have seasons. And there has said to be frozen water found on Mars, too! Freaky!

What causes the different seasons in earth?
Seasons are caused by the tilt of the earth on its axis. When the Southern Hemisphere is facing the sun more directly, it is summer there and winter in the Northern Hemisphere. When the earth is not tilted, it is spring in one place and fall in the other. That was a question on my science test. Weird.
What are the two seasons on earth that do not have seasons?
the two seasons on earth that do not have seasons are spring and fall
What are the 4 weather seasons?
The Earth's seasons: Spring Summer Autumn (sometimes called Fall) Winter The seasons result from the earth's axis being tilted to its orbital plane.Thus, at any given time during summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the sun.This exposure alternates as the earth revolves in its orbit.Therefore, at any given time, regardless of season, the northern and southern hemispheres experience opposite seasons.
What are the four periods of earth?
The four periods (known as seasons) of the planet Earth include Winter (December-February), Spring (February-May), Summer (June-August), and Autumn (September-November).
What does Earth's tilt on its own axis cause?
The change in seasons
Does every planet have seasons?
no most planets have seasons
How your planet is changing?
our planet changes by the seasons and the weather
Which planet has a tilted axis so that the planet has seasons?
Uranus and Pluto have a tilt and have extreme seasons. Mars, Saturn, and Neptune have seasons that are similar to ours.
What planet has almost the same seasons as the earth?
Mars has four distinct seasons, and may well be the planet in our Solar System having seasons the closest in general to ours.
Is there different seasons in Mars?
No, in fact there are not seasons on mars at all. Because mars is a planet with no life on it, there are no seasons!!
Which is the planet that has seasons like the earth?
Mars
Is Saturn and Mars and earth are the only ones with seasons?
No, any planet with an axial tilt will have seasons, for instance Uranus has seasons.
