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.)
it would still appear to rotate
it would still appear to rotate
Clockwise .
On its side.
Earth and Neptune are very different, but share a few similarities. Both orbit the Sun in the same direction. both are a round shape and rotate on their axis. Both planets appear to be blue when viewed from a distance.

if you look at a video and the North Pole is at the top, the Earth would appear to move from left to the right (the Pacific Ocean would first appear on the left side then rotate across and disappear on the right)
The Earth rotates towards the east. As viewed from the North Star, Polaris, the Earth turns anti clockwise
It's an illusion caused by the actual rotation of the earth.
All planets except Mercury can appear 50 degrees from the Sun.

the sun does not move but the earth does spin around
