SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Uranus-seventh planet from the Sun-rotates at a nearly 90-degree angle from the plane of its orbit. This unique tilt makes Uranus appear to spin 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -We all know that all the eight planets of our solar system revolve around the sun as well as rotate on their own axis. While, six of these planets including Earth rotate in prograde direction, two of the planets-Venus and Uranus rotate in retrograde direction which is opposite to what other planets do.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yes, Uranus is really tilted on its side! 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-5: -Its axis of rotation is tilted 57 degrees with respect to the plane of its orbit around the Sun, so it spins almost on its side. Pluto also exhibits a retrograde rotation; spinning from east to west like Venus and Uranus.
