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.

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.
