Detailed explanation-1: -Uranus is outer most planet of solar system rotates from east to west andUranus is tipped over on its side with an axial tilt of 98 degrees.so it has a highly tilted rotational axis .
Detailed explanation-2: -Uranus is the only planet whose equator is nearly at a right angle to its orbit, with a tilt of 97.77 degrees – possibly the result of a collision with an Earth-sized object long ago. This unique tilt causes the most extreme seasons in the solar system.
Detailed explanation-3: -Uranus has the largest tilt of any planet in our Solar System and it spins on its side. This means that one of Uranus’ poles is often pointed towards the Sun, giving Uranus very long seasons. The rings of Uranus are also sideways compared to the rings of other planets.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most of the planets in our Solar System have their poles more or less oriented in the same direction. And most of them are spinning anticlockwise, when viewed from above. But Uranus? Its rotation axis is oriented 98 degrees relative to its orbit, and it’s whirling around in a clockwise direction.
Detailed explanation-5: -Which of these is TRUE about the seasons on Uranus? Its strange tilt produces extreme seasonal variations.
