Which planet spins on a horizontal axis?
Uranus has an axial tilt of 97.86 degrees, which is near horizontal.
Which planet roll like a ball?
Uranus. Its axis is tilted right over onto it's side at almost 90 degrees.
Which planet appears to spin on its side?
Uranus spins on a 97 degree angle or on its side.
What planet spins on it's side as it orbits the sun?
Uranus - its axial tilt of 98 degrees means that it is tilted on its side as it orbits the sun.
Is Saturn the planet which orbits the sun on its side?
Uranus does at a 98 degree angle. Pluto also is tilted at a 122 degree angle.
What planet has the greatest tilt at the axis?
Uranus. Its axis is tilted by almost 98 degrees. Venus is often said to have a tilt of about 177 degrees. It depends on how you define a North Pole! It's a bit confusing.
Why is Uranus nicknamed the sideways planet?
Uranus is sometimes referred to as the "sideways planet" because it spins on an axis that is tilted almost 98 degrees
Which planet spins on a horizontal axis?
Uranus has an axial tilt of 97.86 degrees, which is near horizontal.
What is the only planet tilted on it side?
Uranus, with a tilt of 98°. All planets have some tilt, but Uranus' tilt is so extreme, it rotates on its side.
Which planet has the most axial tilt?
Uranus, at 98° axial tilt. Sometimes the answer is given as "Venus" with a tilt of about 177 degrees. It depends how you define "north pole"
Which planet is tilted at a 90 degree angle?
Uranus is tilted on its side by about 90 degrees. When observed from Earth, we would sometimes see the north or south pole in the "centre" of the planet.
Which planet roll like a ball?
Uranus. Its axis is tilted right over onto it's side at almost 90 degrees.
What does Uranus' axis tilt lead to?
Uranus has a tilt of approx. 98 degrees which makes its axis of rotation almost parallel to the plane of the Solar System. This causes the planet to have an unusual day-night cycle - where one hemisphere of the planet faces the sun for a period of 72 years, i.e. a day-period of 72 years, while the other half is faced away from the sun for the same period, a night-period of 72 years.
How is Uranu's rotation different from the rest of the outer planet?
Uranus has a different rotation around its axis because it is tilted at an angle. I hope this helps! The angle is much bigger at about 98 degrees. That's the difference. The angle of tilt is away from the perpendicular to the planet's orbital plane, of course.
What planet in the outer solar system is tipped on its side?
Uranus has an axial tilt of about 98 degrees.
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 it is titled on its side?
Uranus is titled on its side. Its axis of rotation is titled at 98 degrees.
