Uranus.
Uranus has the greatest orbital inclination among the planets in our solar system, with an inclination of approximately 97.8 degrees. This means that Uranus's orbit is tilted almost perpendicular to the plane of the solar system.
Mercury and Pluto.
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.)
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
Uranus was knocked off its axis due to a collision with another large object passing through space . The object was nearly the size of uranus.All planets have a tilted axis. The Gravity of the Sun and other planets force the tilt.

Uranus is the inner planet of our solar system with a tilted axis. Its axis is tilted at approximately 98 degrees, causing it to rotate almost parallel to its orbital plane, giving it extreme seasonal variations.

Uranus is the planet that is almost tilted 90 degrees on its axis. Its extreme axial tilt results in the planet's poles being almost in line with its orbital plane, causing highly unusual seasons and weather patterns on Uranus.

Planet Uranus, it is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
Planet Uranus, it is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
No, not all planets are tilted like Earth. Each planet has its own unique tilt or axial tilt. For example, Uranus has a tilt of almost 98 degrees causing it to rotate on its side, while Venus has a very small tilt of less than 4 degrees.
Mercury's orbital inclination is about 7 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic. This means that its orbit is tilted at an angle of about 7 degrees compared to the average plane of the solar system.
Saturn's orbital axis is tilted at an angle of about 26.73 degrees relative to its orbital plane around the Sun. This tilt is what causes the changing seasons on Saturn as it orbits the Sun.
