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.)

What else can I help you with?

How does Uranus move clockwise or counter clockwise?

Uranus rotates on its axis counterclockwise when viewed from above its north pole, making it one of the few planets to rotate in a retrograde direction. Its moons and rings also orbit around the planet counterclockwise, as viewed from above the north pole.
