The planet Uranus is the only planet in our solar system that orbits the sun lying on its side. This means that its axis is tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees relative to its orbit. As a result, Uranus experiences extreme seasons where one pole is in constant sunlight for half of its orbit, followed by a period of darkness.
