Which planet has an orbit that is tilted significantly more than the others?
Uranus is has an orbit that is tilted significantly more than the other planets. Uranus is basically tilted on it's side during orbit.
What is tilted at an angle of 98 to the plane of orbit?
Uranus
How do scientists think Uranus is tilted?
They think Uranos is tilted by 98 degrees, meaning its axis is almost horizontal, compared to its plane of rotation. During part of its orbit around the Sun, the north pole (or the south pole, during another part of its orbit) points almost directly to the Sun.
Which is the only planet to orbit in a different direction?
none of them orbit in a different direction they all orbit the sun in a counter-clockwise rotation. you may be thinking of how they are tilted because only on planet is tilted nearly onits side: Uranus which is tilted at 98degrees
What planet has a tilted axis?
All planets have tilted axes. But the axis of Uranus is tilted almost by 90 degrees with the plane of its orbit making it look like it is rotating vertically. See related link for a pictorial representation
Which planet has a rotational axis that is tilted so much that it lies nearly in the plane of its orbit?
Uranus
Planet tilted with rings?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have rings, and all have some kind of tilt to their axes. However, the one that's the most tilted is Uranus, which lies on its side in relation to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. It is said that something bumped into Uranus and the crash is so bad that Uranus tilted over along with it's rings. And now, it is still tilted.
Are Uranus' rings slanted?
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.
Which planet's axis lies only 8 degrees from the plane of its orbit?
Uranus. It is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
Does Uranus have a tilted axis?
Which planet's south pole is tilted towards the sun?
Uranus has a tilt of 98 degrees. This means that during part of its orbit, its south pole is tilted almost directly towards the Sun. At another part of its orbit, it is the north pole that is tilted almost directly towards the Sun.
What planet is tilted 98 degrees from the path of its orbit?
Uranus is unusual in that it has an axial tilt of around 98 degrees, meaning that in on its side in relation to its orbit around the sun.
