Do the satellites of Uranus revolve around the planet in planes almost perpendicular to its orbit?

Yes. The planet Uranus is "tilted" in its axis of rotation, with its North Pole facing almost directly toward the sun. Many of its moons would be visible throughout most of their orbits, since they are seen looking "down" from "above them". If the planet were not so cold (sometimes within 60° C of absolute zero), the effect of the Sun heating ONLY the northern hemisphere of the planet would create unique weather patterns, to say the least.
