Yes, some do. Most notable is Uranus, which is almost on its side.
Because the seasons are different there, the earths north tilts towards the sun in June (our summer) and the Earths south tilts towards the sun in December (our winter.)
Because it tilts on its axis
mars
Yes, Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. Uranus rotates on its side, with an axis tilt of about 98 degrees. These are exceptions to the general rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction as their orbit around the Sun.
Mercury and Jupiter.
This is like asking "do stars need planets?" The simple answer is that they dont. However for complex life to have a chance to evolve on a planet the planet needs to have a stable axis around which it rotates (spins) and tilts (which gives us our seasons) and not to tilt beyond a cetainnumber of degrees there would be an extreme of temperatures, the earths moon stabilises our axial tilt ensuring that there is little extremes of temperature.
It does, but over millions of years, the earth tilts a little and there is a new north star.
The tiltmeter is an invention that helps predict earthquakes by detecting tilts in the earths crust. It was invented by George E. Merritt in 1932.
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth receive the Sun's most direct rays. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer in the northern hemisphere. And when the South Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
