∙ 12y agoUranus doesn't appear to spin on its side because it is clearly visible that it spins on its side.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoUranus has an axial tilt of 97.8 degrees, which means that it rotates on its side.

What is the turning of a planet of a planet on its axis?
This is called "rotation" or "spin".
Which planet appears red when viewed from Earth?
planet x
Why planets cannot go out of their orbits?
If the planet moved out of it's orbit the planet can be destroyed or spin out of control
What planet lies in its orbit plane?
All planets lie in the plane of their orbit, but most spin on an that is nearly (many have tilted axes of spin) perpendicular to that plane. The one exception is the planet Uranus which has its axis of spin lying very close to its orbital plane.
Is Pluto a retrograde rotation planet?
It is a Dwarf planet that has a retrograde axial spin or rotation. Clockwise from above its north pole.
Which planet spin on its side?
The planet Uranus spins on its side.
A planet that appears to spin counterclockwise when viewed from its north pole has?
It has a retrograde rotation.
Which planet rotates around the sun on its side instead of spining?
Well they all spin, but Uranus has a tilt to its axis of rotation of about 89° so you might say that at times it appears to be rolling and not spinning.
Why does Venus rotate clockwise while other planets rotate anticlockwise?
Scientists think that a collision with another proto-planet occurred shortly after the planet Venus formed. The collision stopped its counterclockwise spin and left it with a very slow rotation in the clockwise direction (as seen from the north, i.e. above the ecliptic plane.All of the other major planets still spin in their original direction. However, the planet Uranus evidently had a similar incident, one that tipped it over onto its side by more than 90° relative to its orbital plane. It now appears to "roll" rather than rotate, and seen from above the spin appears slightly clockwise.
Why water spins into the drainage?
Gravitational pull causes the vortex depending on which side of the planet your on which way the vortex will spin
What planet lies on its side in orbit?
With an axial tilt of about 98 degrees (compared to the Earth's 23.4), Uranus appears to be lying on its side.
What is earth spin?
The rotation of the planet on its axis of spin. The spin is responsible for the day and the night.
What is the turning of a planet of a planet on its axis?
This is called "rotation" or "spin".
Is it cold or hot on the planet Mercury?
sense it does not spin on it's axis its both hot and cold. the side facing the sun is hot and the side away is relatively cold
Do planet spin at the same speed?
no
Which terrestrial planet has retrograde spin?
venus
Does the moon spin on axes?
Yes, the moon rotates aound it's axis, but it doees that in the same time as it orbits our planet - this is why only one side of the moon faces us (the near side).
