Imagine our Solar System as a dance floor.
The planets are moving to pretty much the same rhythm, but one of them is doing the side shuffle.
The rebellious Uranus.
Just how different is Uranus dance?
Very different.
While Earth's axis is tilted about 23 degrees, Uranus tilts almost 98 degrees.
Uranus axis is so tilted it actually looks like the planet is rotating on its side.
How did this all happen?
One theory is that a body the size of our Earth collided with Uranus a long time ago, radically throwing off its rotation.
Until we know for sure, the planets strange tilt remains one of the great mysteries in the dance of the Universe.
