Due to it’s slow rotation it actually completes a full rotation of the sun before it itself fully rotates.

    Uranus rotates on its side. Instead of rotating with its axis roughly perpendicular to the plane of its orbit (like all the other planets in our Solar System), Uranus rotates on its side (along its orbital path). This tipped rotational axis gives rise to extreme seasons on Uranus.

      My anus certainly doesn’t rotate perpendicular…

      Anyway, that was terrible Thanks for the correction.
