The Earth's axis is tilted by about 23.5 degrees (more exactly 23 degrees, 26 minutes, 21.4119 seconds) with respect to the perpendicular to the plane of its orbit (the plane of the ecliptic)
Yes, Uranus has a tilted axis that is nearly perpendicular to its orbital plane. This axial tilt is around 98 degrees, causing extreme seasonal variations on the planet.
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.
No, Jupiter does not have a very tilted axis like some other planets in our solar system. Jupiter's axis is only tilted by about 3 degrees, which is very close to being perpendicular to its orbit around the Sun.
23.5 degrees. That's the angle between the axis of the Earth and a line that is perpendicular to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.
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.
Yes it is tilted at about 23.5 degrees
The Earth's axis of rotation is tilted 23.44 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic.

Uranus is the only planet tilted 90 degrees to the right
Earth is tilted at 23.5 degrees from the plane of its orbit around the Sun.
Mainly, there would be no seasons.
The earth is tilted 23.5 degrees. This is what creates the earths seasons. The two hemispheres (north and south) are always on opposite seasons.
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.
You perhaps refer to the "tilt" of the axis. Neptune has an spin axis tilted at about 28.3 degrees from the perpendicular to its orbit.
