GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The Uranian system has a unique configuration because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit. Therefore, its north and south poles lie where most other planets have their equators.

Detailed explanation-3: -NEW ORLEANS-The giant impact from an Earth-size rock that knocked Uranus sideways may have also helped create the tilted planet’s moons, a new study finds.
