Uranus appears to roll during it's orbital motion ??

Open in App

Solution

Uranus is outer most planet of solar system rotates from east to west andUranus is tipped over on its side with an axial tilt of 98 degrees.so it has a highly tilted rotational axis. As a result, its orbital motion it appears to roll on its side.
