Uranus. However, one annoying fact is that Uranus's axis is tilted 98 degrees to its plane of rotation. This means that its so-called north pole is actually directed more closely to what we would call "south" in the solar system than to "north." So arguably, Uranus's rotation is opposite to the rotation of all the other planets (except for Venus), but apparently astronomers don't choose to define it that way. So instead of saying that Uranus is tilted 82 degrees and rotates backwards, they say that it is tilted 98 degrees and rotates forward

What planet is tilted 98 degrees from the path of its orbit?

Uranus is unusual in that it has an axial tilt of around 98 degrees, meaning that in on its side in relation to its orbit around the sun.


What planet is tilted on its side and rotates around the sun?

This must be Uranus. "On its side" isn't a very scientific way of putting it. It means that the planet's axis is tilted at about 90 degrees (98 degrees actually) from the perpendicular to its orbital plane.


What planet is tilted on its axis the more than any other planets?

Uranus is the planet that is tilted on its axis more than any other planet in our solar system. Its axis is tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees, causing it to essentially roll on its side as it orbits the Sun.

Uranus, one of the four gas giants. Its tilted on its side by 98 degrees.


What planet is tilted horizontally?

Uranus is the planet that is tilted almost horizontally, with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This unusual tilt causes extreme seasonal variations on the planet, with each pole experiencing 42 years of continuous daylight followed by 42 years of darkness.


Which planet is tilted on its side as it orbits the sun?

The planet Uranus is tilted "on its side" about 98 degrees to the orbital plane. But all planets in our solar system have some tilt to the side, including Earth which tiles about 23 degrees. (Mercury's tilt is very small.)


Does Uranus have a tilted axis?

Yes, Uranus has a tilted axis that is nearly perpendicular to its orbital plane. This axial tilt is around 98 degrees, causing extreme seasonal variations on the planet.
