How did uranus get tilted on its side?

Uranus is tilted on its side because of violent impact that knocked Uranus off kilter some time ago. Uranus is tilted by 98 degrees.

Uranus. It is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.


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.


Which large planet revolves about the sun titled on its side?

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


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 spins on it's side as it orbits the sun?

Uranus - its axial tilt of 98 degrees means that it is tilted on its side as it orbits the sun.


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.


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 planet is tilted 98 degrees?

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 orbits the sun on it's side?

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