Question

Which planet, in our solar system, is the only planet that rotates on its side with its axis almost perpendicular to the sun?

A. Uranus
B. Venus
C. Jupiter
D. Neptune

Answer 1

A. Uranus!!!

The picture below is a helpful diagram of the rotational axis of all the planets of the solar system (pluto was included, but I guess they never got the memo that it's not a planet anymore lol)

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Uranus is called the sideways planet because it rotates a different way than any of the other planets in the solar system. Uranus rotates on its side, perpendicular to the north-south orientation of Earth and other planets. For this reason, Uranus is sometimes called the sideways planet.
