What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?

In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.


What is the only planet that rotates in a different direction than the other ones?

Uranus. Its spin is tilted 90 degrees to that of all 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 .


Could another planet move Uranus with its gravity?

All planets are affected by the gravity of other planets.


Jovian planets are large?

The 4 Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are all larger than any of the other planets.


How is the rotation of Uranus ulike that of most of the outer planet?

If you look at the entire solar system, all the planets, except Uranus, rotate in the same direction. If you call north up, then all planets rotate on that axis except for Uranus. Uranus spins on it's side in this model. While all the other planets spin on the North/South axis, Uranus spins on the East/West axis.


How bigs Uranus?

Based on classification by size, Uranus is one of the giant planets or gas giants. The other three giants planets are Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. These gas giants all have diameters greater than 48000 kilometers. The other planets four planets are called the small planets. The small planets all have diameters less than 13000 kilometers.


Why is Uranus' orbit peculiar?

Uranus' orbit is considered peculiar because it is tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees relative to the plane of the solar system. This extreme tilt causes Uranus to essentially rotate on its side as it orbits the Sun, leading to unique seasonal patterns and making it different from the other planets.


How many vertices faces edges does a triangular Uranus have?

Uranus is one of the planets in the Solar system. Like all other planets, it is approximately spherical and so the question seems to be totally misguided.


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 are all the different planets called?

mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, staturn, uranus, neptune - in order


Which planets have similar diameter?

The Earth and Venus are pretty close to being the same size (about 5% difference), and Uranus and Neptune are also pretty close to the same size (about 4% difference). All of the other planets are different.
