A Correct answer
Explanation

Uranus has an axial tilt of approximately 98 degrees, which means its axis is almost parallel to its orbital plane. This extreme tilt causes Uranus to essentially roll around the Sun like a ball rather than spin like a top. This unique orientation results in extreme seasonal variations, with each pole experiencing 42 years of continuous sunlight followed by 42 years of darkness.
