Uranus and Neptune are often called twin worlds. How do their axial tilts differ?
What will be an ideal response?
At 98 degrees, Uranus is flopped over on its side, and can have its pole pointing directly at the Sun, as it did when Voyager 2 passed it in 1986. Neptune's tilt is a more normal 29 degrees.
