Uranus rotates on its side with an extreme axial tilt of approximately 98 degrees, unlike most planets that rotate with poles pointing up and down; this unusual orientation causes extreme seasons where one pole can face the Sun for decades while the opposite side remains in darkness, and scientists believe a massive impact long ago may have knocked the planet sideways.

Uranus Rotates on Its Side#shortsAdded:
This planet does not spin like the others. Uranus is tilted so far, it almost rolls around the Sun on its side.
Most planets rotate with their poles pointing mostly up and down.
But Uranus is tilted about 98°.
That means its seasons are extreme. One pole can face the Sun for decades while the other side stays in darkness.
Scientists think a massive impact long ago may have knocked it sideways.
So, Uranus is not just orbiting the Sun.
It is doing it sideways.
