Question

is a planet in our Solar System with a dramatic tilt in its axis of rotation.

• A. Uranus
• B. Earth
• C. Jupiter
• D. Mercury

Answer 1

The correct option is A Uranus

Uranus is a planet with a dramatic tilt of its rotational axis. Its axis of rotation is inclined at an angle of ${97.77}^{\circ }$ to its orbital plane. So, the planet's polar regions are towards and away from the Sun, instead of being in upward and downward directions. Hence, the planet almost looks like it is rolling on its side like a ball, instead of spinning like a top.
