What else can I help you with?
Are there any exceptions to the rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction that they orbit the Sun?
Yes, Venus rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. Uranus rotates on its side, with an axis tilt of about 98 degrees. These are exceptions to the general rule that planets rotate with small axis tilts and in the same direction as their orbit around the Sun.
Is uranus on its side?
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.
Which outer planets rotate on their sides?
Uranus is the only outer planet (and only planet in our solar system) that rotates on its side.
Which Planets in the Solar System rotate on a tilted axis?
Uranus and Venus are the two planets in our solar system that rotate on a highly tilted axis. Uranus has an extreme tilt of about 98 degrees, causing it to essentially roll on its side as it orbits the Sun. Venus, on the other hand, has a tilt of about 177 degrees, which means it rotates in the opposite direction to its orbit around the Sun.
What planet has the greatest tilt at the axis?
Uranus. Its axis is tilted by almost 98 degrees. Venus is often said to have a tilt of about 177 degrees. It depends on how you define a North Pole! It's a bit confusing.
Are other planets tilts more dramatic than earths?
Yes, some do. Most notable is Uranus, which is almost on its side.

What planet tilts on its axis that make it look like is rotating on its side?
Mercury
Does Mars have an axis?
Yes, it tilts on it's side like Earth. This causes it to have seasons.
This planet tilts over so far from its axis that it rotates on its side?
Thats planet Uranus.
Is uranus on its side?
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.
What is unusual about the rotation of Uranus?
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.
Which outer planets rotate on their sides?
Uranus is the only outer planet (and only planet in our solar system) that rotates on its side.

How Uranus' axis of rotation differs from those of most other planets?
Rotation of UranusUranus's axis of rotation lies on its side with respect to the plane of the solar system, with an axial tilt of 97.77 degrees.
How does your location on the surface of the Earth affect the surface temperature?
when the axis tilts or the earth it gets a bit closer to the sun so on one side its warmer than the other
Planet that tilts on its side?
earth
