[00:00:00]This planet does not spin like the others. Uranus is tilted so far, it almost rolls around the Sun on its side.

[00:00:07]Most planets rotate with their poles pointing mostly up and down.

[00:00:11]But Uranus is tilted about 98°.

[00:00:14]That means its seasons are extreme. One pole can face the Sun for decades while the other side stays in darkness.

[00:00:21]Scientists think a massive impact long ago may have knocked it sideways.

[00:00:26]So, Uranus is not just orbiting the Sun.

[00:00:29]It is doing it sideways.
