Solution

The correct option is C Uranus
$∙$ Uranus is a planet that has an almost horizontal axis of rotation.
$∙$ It is a very cold and windy planet. It rotates at nearly 90 degrees from the plane of its orbit.
$∙$ It is supposed to have this unusual rotation because of collision by an object as big as the Earth.

Q. The orbit of Pluto is much more eccentric than the orbits of the other planets. That is, instead of being nearly circular, the orbit is noticeably elliptical. The point in the orbit nearest to the Sun is called the perihelion and the point farthest from the Sun is called the aphelion. At perihelion, the gravitational potential energy of Pluto in its orbit has :
