With an axial tilt of about 98 degrees (compared to the Earth's 23.4), Uranus appears to be lying on its side.

Which is the only planet that lies on its side?
Uranus. "Lies on its side" isn't the proper scientific description, of course.

Where is the dwarf planet churon lacated in the solar system?
There is no dwarf planet named Churon. Charon is a real object, though. it is not a dwarf planet, however: it is the largest moon of the dwarf planet Pluto, which has an elliptical orbit that lies mostly beyond the orbit of Neptune.
What place does Saturn have in the solar system?
Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun. Its orbit lies between the orbits of Jupiter (the fifth planet) and Uranus (the seventh).
Which planet has the oddest orbit?
Uranus, because it spins on it's side.
What planet spins along its side rolling along its orbit?
Uranus
What planet lies before Neptune?
In the traditional diagram of the Solar System Uranus is before Neptune. In reality, the planets are not in a line but at different points around the Sun as they orbit it, so it is the path of Uranus's orbit that lies before Neptune.
What if the planet is not turning on its orbit?
If a planet is not turning on its axis, then essentially there is no day and night. One side of the planet would be day, the other, night. I personally think the day side of the planet would roast and the night side would freeze, but that's just me.Note: In fact, the planet would have long days and nights because of its orbit around the Sun.
