How is Uranus the same or different to other planets?
it has a sun a moon it is sideways
Why is Uranus like a barrel?
Uranus' rotation is different from that of the other planets. Rathering than spinning like a top as it circles the Sun, Uranus rolls like a barrel.
How Uranus' axis of rotation differs from those of other planets?
Uranus' axis of rotation is different in that it rotates at close to a 90 degree angle. This makes it rotate nearly parallel to the plane of the Solar System.
What happened on Uranus?
it circlles the sunUranus orbits the sun different from other planets as its axis of orbit is on it's side. As other planets orbit the sun from north to south, Uranus' poles are where other planets equators are. See the related link for more information.Like all the planets, the orbit is an ellipse.
What characteristics distinguishes Uranus from the other giant planets?
Uranus is tilted on it's side other than the other planets.

Why is Uranus different form all the other planets in the solar system?
Uranus orbits on its side. It probably does so because a planetesimal struck the planet near the poles, toppling it .
What characteristics distinguishes Uranus from the other giant planets?
Uranus is tilted on it's side other than the other planets.
Which planet was discovered because of its gravitational pull on other planets?
It was Neptune.
How is Uranus different from all the other planets?
It rotates on its axis at a 90 degree angle to the sun.
Does Uranus spin the wrong way?
Yes it does. "Wrong ???' Try different from most of the other planets.
What is the only planet that rotates a different direction than the other planets?
Actually there are two, Venus and Uranus.
What two sets of planets are considered twins of each other because of their composition and their size?
uranus
What other planets are outer planets?
