Uranus.
If the Earth had a similar orientation, the North Pole would permanently be pointed towards the sun.
The countries in the Northern Hemisphere would experience daylight all the time, and probably be too hot for human habitation.
Conversely, countries in the Southern Hemisphere would be in darkness all year-long, and would probably too cold for habitation.
Probably the only place on such an Earth that would be suitable for habitation would be a narrow strip around the equator, near where the terminator (day/night) division is.

Is neptune the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel to its orbit?
The question doesn't make much sense. I think it probably should say: "an axis parallel to its orbit plane". In that case, the answer is that Uranus (not Neptune) is the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel (roughly) to its orbit plane.
Is it true that Neptune's the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel to it's orbit?
No. That would be Uranus.
Are Uranus' rings slanted?
Any time a planet has rings they will be aligned with the planet's equator. Uranus' axis is highly tilted such that its rings are almost perpendicular to its orbit.
Does planet Uranus have physical properties?
The planet Uranus has faint rings, and the planet is tilted so the axis is nearly parallel to its orbit. The planet is a gas giant, which means that the planet is made of gases. And finally, the atmosphere is made up of hydrogen and helium.
Which planet has a tiletd orbit?
Our own planet Earth is tilted at its axis by about 23.5 degrees.

The planet that has an axis of rotation that is almost parallel to the plane of its orbit is?
Your Anus lol im f*ckin wit cha. it's Uranus doe.
Is the earths axis rotation almost parallel to the plane of its orbit?
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
Which planet has its axis nearly parallel to its place of orbit so it rolls like a ball?
Uranus
Is it true that Neptune's the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel to it's orbit?
No. That would be Uranus.
What is the earths axis parallel to?
orbit of the moon

Define orbit and axis of the planets?
The orbit of a planet is the path it takes on its journey around the sun. The axis is an imaginary line through the planet from pole to pole about which the planet revolves or spins.
What do you call a complete turn of a planet on its axis?
orbit

How long does Mercury take to orbit on it's axis?
The question is confused: a planet orbits around the sun or it rotates (spins) on its axis. It does not orbit on its axis.
Which planet has a tiletd orbit?
Our own planet Earth is tilted at its axis by about 23.5 degrees.
