Uranus: Facts - NASA Science
2024年12月31日 · Uranus rotates at a nearly 90-degree angle from the plane of its orbit. This unique tilt makes Uranus appear to spin sideways, orbiting the Sun like a rolling ball. Uranus was the first planet found with the aid of a telescope.
Orbit and Rotation of Uranus - Planet Facts
The rotational period of Uranus’ is 17 hours and 14 minutes (compared to Earth time, a day on Uranus is approximately 17 hours and 14 minutes). However, just like on the other giant planets, it also experiences relatively strong winds going in the direction of its rotation.

Orbit and Rotation One day on Uranus takes about 17 hours (the time it takes for Uranus to rotate or spin once). And Uranus makes a complete orbit around the Sun (a year in Uranian time) in about 84 Earth years (30,687 Earth days).
Uranus - Wikipedia
It has a marked axial tilt of 82.23° with a retrograde rotation period of 17 hours and 14 minutes. This means that in an 84-Earth-year orbital period around the Sun, its poles get around 42 years of continuous sunlight, followed by 42 years of continuous darkness.
