Is neptune the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel to its orbit?
The question doesn't make much sense. I think it probably should say: "an axis parallel to its orbit plane". In that case, the answer is that Uranus (not Neptune) is the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel (roughly) to its orbit plane.
Which planet spins on a horizontal axis?
Uranus has an axial tilt of 97.86 degrees, which is near horizontal.
What planet is tilted on its side and rotates around the sun?
This must be Uranus. "On its side" isn't a very scientific way of putting it. It means that the planet's axis is tilted at about 90 degrees (98 degrees actually) from the perpendicular to its orbital plane.
Is the orbital plane of your solar system parallel to the rotation of the milky way galaxy?
The orbital plane of a stellar system can be oriented in any way in relation to the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy. Our solar system, for example, is almost perpendicular to the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy.
What is the point in the moon's elliptical orbit where it is farthest from earth?
That point is called apogee and it rotates round the orbital plane every 19 years.

The planet that is most tipped on it' orbital plane is?
The planet Uranus rotates on an axis that is tipped about 90 degrees to the ecliptic.
Does the moon rotate clockwise or counterclockwise?
The moon rotates counterclockwise just like Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What planet is not in the orbital plane?
Pluto
Which planet is not an orbital plane?
Pluto
Which planet spins on a horizontal axis?
Uranus has an axial tilt of 97.86 degrees, which is near horizontal.
What do you call a planet that rotates in the opposite direction of the other planets?
The reverse of the standard rotation, i.e. in the opposite direction of the orbital motion, is called retrograde. This term is most aptly applied to Venus, which rotates east-to-west (clockwise) while retaining its perpendicular orientation to its orbital plane.

Uranus.

Which planet is not in the orbital plane?
I'm pretty sure its Pluto (:
Is Earth the planet that rotates on its side?
No. It rotates in an axis that is about 23° tilted from perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic. Uranus is the planet that is most tilted on its side, with an axial tilt of 97.77°.
Which planet's axis is tilted almost 90 degrees to its orbital plane?
Uranus.
