Uranus.
If the Earth had a similar orientation, the North Pole would permanently be pointed towards the sun.
The countries in the Northern Hemisphere would experience daylight all the time, and probably be too hot for human habitation.
Conversely, countries in the Southern Hemisphere would be in darkness all year-long, and would probably too cold for habitation.
Probably the only place on such an Earth that would be suitable for habitation would be a narrow strip around the equator, near where the terminator (day/night) division is.
The question doesn't make much sense. I think it probably should say: "an axis parallel to its orbit plane". In that case, the answer is that Uranus (not Neptune) is the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel (roughly) to its orbit plane.
No. That would be Uranus.
Our own planet Earth is tilted at its axis by about 23.5 degrees.
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.
No, the Earth's axis of rotation is at a twenty three and a half degree angle to the plane of its orbit, which is closer to being perpendicular than it is to being parallel. This 23.5 degree "axial tilt" are responsible for, among other things, our seasons.
The planet with an axis almost parallel to the ecliptic is Uranus. Its axis is tilted at about 98 degrees, causing it to essentially roll along its orbit around the Sun, leading to extreme seasons and unique day-night cycles.
Uranus. It is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
The question doesn't make much sense. I think it probably should say: "an axis parallel to its orbit plane". In that case, the answer is that Uranus (not Neptune) is the only planet that rotates on an axis parallel (roughly) to its orbit plane.
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.

No. That would be Uranus.
Uranus is known as the planet that is tilted on its side, with its axis of rotation almost parallel to its orbit around the Sun. This extreme tilt causes Uranus to experience unique seasonal variations on its surface.
Uranus has an axial tilt of about 8 degrees, which means its axis lies almost parallel to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. This unique orientation causes extreme seasonal variations on the planet, with poles experiencing extended periods of sunlight and darkness.
Uranus has the greatest inclination of orbit to the ecliptic, with an inclination of about 98 degrees. This means its rotational axis is almost parallel to its orbit around the Sun, causing extreme seasonal variations.
Uranus is the planet known for its unique characteristic of rotating on its side. This means that its axis of rotation is tilted almost parallel to its orbit around the sun, giving it a distinct appearance compared to the other planets in our solar system.
Uranus is often referred to as the "sideways planet" because it rotates on its side compared to other planets in our solar system. Its axis of rotation is almost parallel to its orbit around the Sun, leading to its unique sideways orientation.
Uranus has an axis of rotation that is almost parallel to the plane of its orbit, causing it to essentially "roll" around the Sun instead of spinning like most other planets. This unique orientation gives Uranus extreme seasonal variations and peculiar magnetic field behavior.
