one day I will be mature enough to not giggle inside when I hear the name Uranus

Giant Midget, I doubt I will ever get that mature.

The question should have asked "Which planet has a rotation 'perpendicular' to its orbital plane, with its axis of rotation aligned with the sun?" I think that's what the subsequent explanation is trying to convey.

I agree the question is poorly stated
BigIronHooked
I read that scientists believe it had a nasty collision with something that messed up its rotation.

Uranus is cool!

Why is it referred to as a he?

Sorry Jim Redden you are wrong. Neptune and Uranus are known as the ice giants Saturn and Jupiter are the gas giants

I had a t shirt in the 80's-90's, the front stated "is there life...", and the back read ON URANUS

gobledygook, I agree with you somewhat , but to those who have not had extensive scientific learning it a straight question without the drag of too much info. I cut through and allow myself to be in their shoes. It’s fun and remembering early days of ignorance. Just saying.! ! !😜

Giant Midget, can I see Uranus tonight 😃

I didn't understand the question, and then I didn't understand the answer. So I'm no wiser.

Player #8639988, agreed. Its AXIS of rotation is at 90 degrees, not its rotation. And for you gigglers, it's yur (an as in ran) us.

Giant Midget, '"Uranus is strange". Maybe a protoplanologist can 'ansserwer' some questions? 😏😇😉
Player #16241745
Uranus is an ice giant, not a gas giant

uranus and myanus are exceptional

Even though Uranus is closer to the Sun than Neptune, it's much colder!

luckycatfay
Like millions of other planets! I m sure there are millions and trillions but we haven't the evidence to say how many rotate this way yet.
