Answer:

1. Big Dipper

2. 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.

One theory is that a body the size of our Earth collided with Uranus a long time ago, radically throwing off its rotation.

Answer:

ursa major is know as saptarshi

Explanation:

That's because its axial tilt is so great (97.9 degrees) that it “rolls” along in its orbit.

Think of a table with an orange in the center as the sun and a marble rolling in an arc around it. That's what Uranus is doing, at least it is right now.

During its 84 year orbit it rolls along its orbir part of the time as it is now. But the direcion of its axis does not change much over that 84 year period, so it also spends part of the time with its north pole pointed at the sun, part of the time “backpedaling”, and part of the time with its south pole pointed at the sun.

Right now its “rolling forward” and as it moves around the sun its South pole is facing somewhat toward the sun. In 2028 its south pole will be pointed at the sun, its summer solstice for the southern hemisphere. 42 years later, in 2070 its north pole will be pointed at the sun, summer solstice for the northern hemisphere.
