Great catch! Uranus is indeed a rebel — it rotates on its side, likely due to a massive collision early in its history. Makes its seasons super weird too 🌀🪐
Unlike the other planets, which rotate more or less upright relative to their orbital planes, Uranus is tilted over by about 98 degrees. This means it essentially rolls around the Sun on its side.
Fascinating
