What planet has a tilted axis?
All planets have tilted axes. But the axis of Uranus is tilted almost by 90 degrees with the plane of its orbit making it look like it is rotating vertically. See related link for a pictorial representation
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.)
What two planets are tilted and have seasons?
Mars and Earth are tilted and have seasons.
Is Jupiter tilted?
Yes Jupiter is tilted and its is tilted by 3.13 degrees.
How far is Jupiter's axis tilted?
Only 3.13 degrees. Of the planets, only Mercury has a smaller axial tilt.
Which planet's axis is tilted almost 90 degrees to its orbital plain?
Uranus.

What is tilted with respect to the sun and the orbits of other planets?
Planet Uranus, it is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
What plant is tilted on it's side 98 degrees?
There are 8 planets in the Solar System. (There use to be 9 total planets in the Solar System) The planet that is tilted on its side at 98 degrees is Uranus.
What planet is tilted with respect to the sun and orbits of other planets?
Planet Uranus, it is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
Uranus is different from most other planets because it?
... is tilted almost 90 degrees on it's axis, so it rotates sideways.
Which planet is tilted on its axis to almost 90 degrees angle?
Uranus.
What is the angle of inclination of the Earths axis with its orbital plane what is its effect?
The Earth's axis is tilted at about 23.5 degrees from the perpendicular to the orbital plane. Or to put it another way, the Earth's equator is tilted at 23.5 degrees to the Earth's orbital plane. The main effect is to cause the seasons. That's because the tilt affects the amount of sunlight a particular place gets as the Earth orbits 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.
Why is Uranus the only planet tilted on its side?
This is not actually the case. All of the planets are tilted. Uranus just happens to be tilted more than any of the others. The Earth, for example is actually tilted 23.5 degrees from the vertical. Uranus is tilted 98 degrees from the vertical, making its north pole point towards the sun.
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.
