Uranus. However, one annoying fact is that Uranus's axis is tilted 98 degrees to its plane of rotation. This means that its so-called north pole is actually directed more closely to what we would call "south" in the solar system than to "north." So arguably, Uranus's rotation is opposite to the rotation of all the other planets (except for Venus), but apparently astronomers don't choose to define it that way. So instead of saying that Uranus is tilted 82 degrees and rotates backwards, they say that it is tilted 98 degrees and rotates forward

Usually you will read that Uranus has a tilt of
98 degrees, but sometimes it's given as 82 degrees. Actually, it just depends on how you define the "north pole" of Uranus.
Of course, 180 minus 98 = 82.

Which planet's axis lies only 8 degrees from the plane of its orbit?
Uranus. It is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
Which planet is tilted on its side as it orbits the sun?
The planet Uranus is tilted "on its side" about 98 degrees to the orbital plane. But all planets in our solar system have some tilt to the side, including Earth which tiles about 23 degrees. (Mercury's tilt is very small.)
Which planet is tilted 90 degrees on its side?
Uranus.
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.
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.
What planet is tilted with respect to the sun and orbits of other planets?
Planet Uranus, it is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
What is tilted with respect to the sun and the orbits of other planets?
Planet Uranus, it is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
What plant is tilted on it's side 98 degrees?
There are 8 planets in the Solar System. (There use to be 9 total planets in the Solar System) The planet that is tilted on its side at 98 degrees is Uranus.
Which planet's axis lies only 8 degrees from the plane of its orbit?
Uranus. It is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
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.
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.
Which planet is tilted on its side as it orbits the sun?
The planet Uranus is tilted "on its side" about 98 degrees to the orbital plane. But all planets in our solar system have some tilt to the side, including Earth which tiles about 23 degrees. (Mercury's tilt is very small.)
What is tilted 90 degrees?
Uranus is the only planet tilted 90 degrees to the right
Which large planet revolves about the sun titled on its side?
Uranus, one of the four gas giants. Its tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
Why is Uranus the only planet tilted on its side?
This is not actually the case. All of the planets are tilted. Uranus just happens to be tilted more than any of the others. The Earth, for example is actually tilted 23.5 degrees from the vertical. Uranus is tilted 98 degrees from the vertical, making its north pole point towards the sun.
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.
How many degrees is planet earth tilted?
23.5 degrees
