Uranus's axis of rotation is tilted at about 98 degrees from the perpendicular to

its orbital plane.

This means its axis is roughly in the plane of its orbit. It looks as if it's rotating

"on its side" so to speak.

So rotation is clockwise when viewed from "above " the plane of its orbit.

("Above" is the direction above the Earth's North Pole.)
