It causes Uranus to rotate on it's side ( in respect to the other planets in the solar system)
Currently the axis is tipped 23.5 degrees; increasing this would make the differences between the seasons more pronounced; Summer would be hotter, and Winter would be colder.
Uranus rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, or clockwise when viewed from above the Sun's North Pole. This unique rotation may have been caused by a powerful impact that tipped the planet on its side early in its formation. The tilt of Uranus' axis is so extreme that it leads to extreme variations in sunlight exposure and seasonal changes on the planet.

The Chile earthquake, powerful as it was, was not nearly powerful enough to tilt the earth. If you imagine a large bell in a cathedral and you hit that bell with a spoon, that is about the effect that an earthquake has on the earth as a whole. It caused some MAJOR destruction and caused Chile to pay millions for the damage, and many people were killed or injured.
No, sunspots are caused by the Sun's magnetic field becoming twisted and concentrated in certain areas. This magnetic activity on the Sun's surface leads to sunspots, not the spinning of the Earth on its axis.
It is not. Saturn is called the "crowned planet" because of it's ring.Uranus is called the tipped planet because its axis of rotation is 89° to the ecliptic (the Ears axis is 23,5° to the ecliptic)
That would be Uranus. Is this how you get your homework done?

Seasons are caused by the Earth spinning on its axis, and traveling in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. But the axis of the Earth's rotation isn't "normal to" (at a 90-degree angle to) the plane of the Earth's orbit (the "ecliptic"); the Earth's spin axis is 23.5 degrees "tipped" from being normal to the ecliptic. Because of that, the Earth's north pole is tilted a little "away from" the Sun in the fall and winter, and a little "toward" the Sun in the spring and summer. These differences cause the seasons.
Yes.

Yes.
The blue-green gas giant with an axis tipped farther than any other planet is Uranus. It has a unique rotation where its axis is almost parallel to its orbital plane, causing extreme seasonal variations. Its distinctive blue-green hue is due to the presence of methane in its atmosphere.
