Many alien planets around stars like our sun are potentially extraordinarily tilted, leading to dramatic swings between extreme winters and summers, a new study finds. Fox News Media; ...

An early gravitational dance made the giant planets tilt the way they do -- which is different from the way Earth and the other smaller planets tilt, an astronomer reported on Wednesday.

The axial tilt might be so high, the models showed, on the order of 80 degrees, that the planet could be spinning on its "side," as it were, like Uranus in our solar system.

Uranus tilts almost 98º, so almost on its side.“But modest tilt of a planet on its axis may increase the likelihood that it develops oxygenated atmospheres that could serve as beacons of ...

When a planet has an obliquity of more than 54 degrees, that planet’s equator grows icy and the pole becomes warm. This is called a reversed zonation , and it’s the opposite of what Earth has.

They may be mistaken for twins but they are rather different, Reinhardt added. “Uranus and Neptune are not ‘twin planets’ — they differ in their tilt, satellite system and measured heat flux.

Earth is a special planet. Scientists have scoured the universe, finding thousands of foreign worlds orbiting different stars. None, so far, have shown signs of the life-bearing characteristics of ...
