Yes. The planet Uranus is "tilted" in its axis of rotation, with its North Pole facing almost directly toward the sun. Many of its moons would be visible throughout most of their orbits, since they are seen looking "down" from "above them". If the planet were not so cold (sometimes within 60° C of absolute zero), the effect of the Sun heating ONLY the northern hemisphere of the planet would create unique weather patterns, to say the least.
Any time a planet has rings they will be aligned with the planet's equator. Uranus' axis is highly tilted such that its rings are almost perpendicular to its orbit.
Because of the strange way it spins, nights on some parts of Uranus can last for more than 40 years. The planet's most extraordinary feature is the tilt of its rotational axis, which is almost perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, which means that it alternately has its north pole and its south pole turned towards the sun.
Unlike the other planets, Uranus' axis of rotation is almost parallel to its orbital plain. All the other planets' axis of rotation are almost perpendicular to their orbital planes.So most planets can be visualized as spinning like tops on a table, where the table is the plane of their orbits. Uranus would be visualized as rolling on its side as it moves around its orbit.it spins sidewaysIt spins sideway.
Neptune and Uranus are identical planets
Basically no! If you were to take an axis of 0 degrees to be completely vertical (in reference to the Earths orbital plane) then the Earths actual axis is 23.44 degrees (hence we have summer and winter) although this does vary over a 42 thousand year period between 22.1 degrees and 24.5 degrees.
The satellites of Uranus revolve around the planet in planes almost perpendicular to its orbit.

There are storms on Uranus. Because Uranus is composed almost entirely of gas, these storms are extremely violent.

uranus' axis is almost over 90% hoped that helped :D

Uranus is the sideways planet in our solar system.
