Detailed explanation-1: -Uranus’ axis is so tilted, it actually looks like the planet is rotating on its side.
Detailed explanation-2: -Neptune’s axis of rotation is tilted 28 degrees with respect to the plane of its orbit around the Sun, which is similar to the axial tilts of Mars and Earth. This means that Neptune experiences seasons just like we do on Earth; however, since its year is so long, each of the four seasons lasts for over 40 years.
Detailed explanation-3: -An ancient migrating moon from Uranus’ past might be responsible for the ice giant’s odd spin axis, according to new research. One of the most bizarre phenomena in our solar system is the strange way that Uranus spins on its side. That’s a puzzle because all the other planets spin upright.
