  • Uranus: The Sideways Planet with Extreme Seasons
    The planet whose axis of rotation lies almost in its orbital plane is Uranus.

    Uranus has an axial tilt of approximately 98 degrees, meaning its axis of rotation is almost parallel to its orbital plane. This unique orientation results in extreme seasonal variations, with each pole experiencing nearly 42 years of continuous sunlight followed by 42 years of darkness.
