Rotational movement opposite from that of most planets?
Venus rotates on its axis the opposite direction that it orbits, the opposite of most planets in the solar system. (Note that Uranus rotates on its side.)
Does Neptune rotate vertically or horizontally?
yes because all planets rotate.stupid people.
What makes uranus different from the other planets?
Because of the strange way it spins, nights on some parts of Uranus can last for more than 40 years. The planet's most extraordinary feature is the tilt of its rotational axis, which is almost perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, which means that it alternately has its north pole and its south pole turned towards the sun.
Which blue green planet rotates on its side because of the tilt of its axis?
Uranus.
What is unique about the rotation of Uranus?
All the planets in our solar system have an axis of rotation roughly perpendicular to the plane of their orbit (including Venus, which spins the opposite direction to that of its orbit). By contrast, Uranus is unique in that it rotates on its side, the axis almost parallel to the orbital plane - tilted about 98 degrees.

Which of the following planets rotates on its side?
Uranus
What planets rotates top to bottom instead of side to side?
Uranus rotates from top to bottom. Stay in school and learn.
Does Neptune rotate vertically or horizontally?
yes because all planets rotate.stupid people.

Which outer planets are the gas planets?
The gas planets are Jupiter, which is the biggest planet, Saturn, Uranus which rotates up and down not side to side, and finally Neptune.
Does the sun stay in one place?
No, it moves but it is unnoticable to us. It has its own axis that it rotates around. The gravity from the other planets do that to it (mainly from Jupiter). It is similar to when 2 very large planets are side by side, they will revolve around each other. To see this in action, look it up in phET.
Which blue green planet rotates on its side because of the tilt of its axis?
Uranus.
Is Earth the planet that rotates on its side?
No. It rotates in an axis that is about 23° tilted from perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic. Uranus is the planet that is most tilted on its side, with an axial tilt of 97.77°.
What is the planet that tips over so far that it rotates on its axis?
All Planets spin on their axis, the axis by definition is the line that a planet spins about. Uranus, one of the four gas giants, is tilted on its side by 98 degrees. This is thought to have been a result from a collision long ago in the early solar system.
Are there any planets that do not spin?
Yes. The moon rotates in relation to the stars, so it has an axis of rotation.
Since the moon always keeps the same side facing earth does it rotates on its on axis?
Yes, it rotates at the same rate it orbits the Earth.
