Which planet has a tiletd orbit?

Our own planet Earth is tilted at its axis by about 23.5 degrees.


What is the only planet whose orbit is significantly tilted with respect to the ecliptic?

The planet with the greatest inclination relative to the ecliptic is Mercury, at about seven degrees. This is over twice the inclination of any other planet (Venus comes in second at about 3.4 degrees), but even so it's not all that high: Pluto's inclination is over 17 degrees, one (of many) reasons a lot of people felt that calling it a planet was a One of These Things Is Not Like the Others situation.


What is the imaginary line which is spinning such as the planet rotates?

The imaginary line which a planet spins around is called its axis. This axis is tilted relative to its orbit around the Sun, which gives rise to changing seasons on Earth.


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.


What is caused by your tilted axis and your orbit?

Earth's tilted axis and orbit around the sun cause the changing of seasons. The tilt of Earth's axis means that different parts of the planet receive varying amounts of sunlight during different times of the year, resulting in the familiar cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

Which is the only planet to orbit in a different direction?

none of them orbit in a different direction they all orbit the sun in a counter-clockwise rotation. you may be thinking of how they are tilted because only on planet is tilted nearly onits side: Uranus which is tilted at 98degrees

What is true about Pluto -Pluto orbits is the third longest- Pluto is considered a terrestrial planet- Pluto does not rotate around its axis or Pluto has a tilted orbit?

Pluto has a tilted orbit (compared with the average plane of the orbits of the other planets). Also, Pluto would be considered a "terrestrial planet", but it is not now defined as a planet. It's just called a "dwarf planet" now.


Is the sun tilted?

The Sun is not tilted in the way that some planets are; it rotates on its axis, but its axis is not significantly tilted relative to its orbit around the Milky Way galaxy. However, its axis is tilted slightly in relation to its orbit around the center of the galaxy.


What causes your planet to have sesons?

The Earth has seasons because it polar axis is tilted relative to its orbit.


Which planet's orbit is tilted more than those of other planet?

neptune some other planets tilt to but neptune tilt alot


Does Saturn have a tilted axis?

Yes, Saturn has a tilted axis. Its axis is tilted at an angle of about 26.73 degrees in relation to its orbit around the Sun, causing the planet to experience seasons similar to those on Earth.


Which planet's south pole is tilted towards the sun?

Uranus has a tilt of 98 degrees. This means that during part of its orbit, its south pole is tilted almost directly towards the Sun. At another part of its orbit, it is the north pole that is tilted almost directly towards the Sun.


What planet has a tilted axis?

All planets have tilted axes. But the axis of Uranus is tilted almost by 90 degrees with the plane of its orbit making it look like it is rotating vertically. See related link for a pictorial representation


Which large planet revolves about sun tilted on its side?

Uranus is the large planet that revolves around the sun tilted on its side. Its rotational axis is tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees, causing its poles to point nearly toward and away from the sun at different points in its orbit.


What is the imaginary line which is spinning such as the planet rotates?

The imaginary line which a planet spins around is called its axis. This axis is tilted relative to its orbit around the Sun, which gives rise to changing seasons on Earth.
