Question

:) Why the moons of Uranus are peculiar? (a) They orbit the planet from top to bottom instead of left to right like our moon. (b) They are tipped over (c) They orbit Uranus at a ninety-degree angle (d) They orbit the planet from left to right instead of top to bottom.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Uranian system has a unique configuration because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its solar orbit. Its north and south poles, therefore, lie where most other planets have their equators.

Inclination: 0.773° to ecliptic; 6.48° to Sun's equator; 0.99° to invariable plane

Rotation period: −0.71832 d; −17 h 14 m 23 s; (retrograde) (synodic; solar day)

Composition by volume: (Below 1.3 bar); Gases:: 83 ± 3% hydrogen (H; 2); 15 ± 3% ...

Orbital period: 84.0205 yr; 30,688.5 d; 42,718 Uranian solar days;
