Why do scientists say that Uranus is tipped over?
Scientists say Uranus is tipped over because its axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees. This extreme tilt causes Uranus to essentially roll on its side as it orbits the Sun, giving it the appearance of "rolling" through space. The reason for this abnormal tilt is still not completely understood.
What may have caused Uranus' unique axis of rotation?
One hypothesis is that Uranus was impacted by a massive object in the early solar system, causing it to tilt on its side. Another possibility is the gravitational influence of a nearby planet, such as Neptune, may have contributed to Uranus' axial tilt.
Which planet is most tipped in orbital plane is?
Since Pluto, with an inclination of about 17.15 degrees, has been relegated to minor-planet status, the honor passes to Venus with an orbital inclination of approximately 3.39 degrees. See http://www.nineplanets.org/data.html
Which Kuiper belt object has recently been stripped of its privileges as a planet?
None. There are no "priveleges as a planet" to be stripped. And an inanimate object wouldn't miss them anyway. Pluto was recently stripped of its title as a planet. But it didn't lose any priveleges because of it.
Is varuna planet or not?
20000 Varuna is a Kuiper Belt Object. It may be a dwarf planet, but it hasn't been officially classified as one yet.
Which planet is with the Great Red Spot?
Jupiter is the planet with the Great Red Spot. It is a massive storm that has been raging for centuries in Jupiter's atmosphere.
Does a dwarf planet orbit another planet?
No. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon. A dwarf planet orbits a star just like a true planet does, but has been unable to clear its orbital path of debris such as asteroids and comets.
Has venus been registered as a planet by NASA?
I don't think so. In general, it is the IAU (International Astronomical Union) that decides whether an object is a planet.
Which planet is known for it's great red spot?
Jupiter is the planet known for its Great Red Spot, a massive storm that has been raging for hundreds of years.
What planet lies on its side in orbit?
Uranus is the planet in our solar system that is tilted on its side, with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This unique feature is believed to have been caused by a collision with a massive object long ago, leading to its unusual orientation in orbit.
How is Pluto different from the gas planets?
Pluto is not a planet anymore, it has been reclassified as a dwarf planet since 2006. It is very different from the four gas giants, much smaller and less massive. It has a solid.
What planet is famous for its big red spot on it?
Jupiter is the planet famous for its big red spot, which is a massive storm system that has been raging for at least 400 years.
