Uranus has a horizontal rotation
All planets in our solar system are somewhat squished in shape due to their rotation, or are "oblate spheroids" - but Venus is the least oblate or the most spherical, owing to its slow rotation.
Venus is nearly a perfect sphere. It rotates very slowly, but it does rotate. That means it does have an axis of rotation.
This is called "rotation" or "spin".
rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun
rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun
That's the planet Mars .
All planets in our solar system are somewhat squished in shape due to their rotation, or are "oblate spheroids" - but Venus is the least oblate or the most spherical, owing to its slow rotation.
Uranus spins on a nearly horizontal axis, tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun. This unique orientation causes extreme seasonal variations on the planet as different hemispheres receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout its orbit.
Mars - A day on Mars is about 24.6229 hours
The motion of a planet about it axis is called the rotation of a planet.

"Spherical" or nearly so. For example Saturn is an obvious "oblate spheroid". It's a "flattened sphere" because of its high rotation speed and gaseous composition.

The difference between the rotation and revoulution is that rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun.
The motion of a planet on its axis is called rotation. This rotation causes day and night cycles on the planet as different parts are facing towards or away from the sun.
