U tell me?
Uranus
Yes - the mean inclination of the lunar orbit to the ecliptic plane is 5.145°.
Each of them does.
The planet Uranus rotates on an axis that is tipped about 90 degrees to the ecliptic.
Well first of all, since the planets are almost perfect spheres, they have no 'sides'.You're probably thinking of Uranus, whose axis of rotation is tilted of 97.77°, andso is approximately parallel with the plane of the Solar System.

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.
No, Neptune axis of rotation, like that of Earth is basically at right angles to the plane of the ecliptic (the plane in which the planets rotate round the sun). It is Uranus that has a unique configuration among the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane the ecliptic, (i.e. its north and south poles lie where most other planets have their equators).
Yes, the axis of the Earth is at an angle to the ecliptic (the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun) of about about 23,5°.
Unlike the other planets, Uranus' axis of rotation is almost parallel to its orbital plain. All the other planets' axis of rotation are almost perpendicular to their orbital planes.So most planets can be visualized as spinning like tops on a table, where the table is the plane of their orbits. Uranus would be visualized as rolling on its side as it moves around its orbit.it spins sidewaysIt spins sideway.
It is almost parallel to its rotational plane.
No. The Earth's orbit is absolutely parallel to the plane of the ecliptic. Of course, the Earth's orbit is DEFINED as the plane of the ecliptic, so this should be no surprise. All of the other planetary orbits are tilted to the plane of the ecliptic, but not by a whole lot. The Moon's orbit, for example, is tilted about 5 degrees to the ecliptic. The axis of the Earth's spin, however, IS tilted by 23.5 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic.
It is not. Saturn is called the "crowned planet" because of it's ring.Uranus is called the tipped planet because its axis of rotation is 89° to the ecliptic (the Ears axis is 23,5° to the ecliptic)
The earth's axis is tilted to 23.48 degrees to the ecliptic plane
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
All of the planets in the Universe rotate on an axis. They all do.
