Explanation:

Uranus is unique among the planets in our solar system. Its rotation axis is tilted at an extreme angle, approximately \(98^{\circ}\) relative to the plane of its orbit. This extreme tilt causes Uranus to spin "on its side" compared to the other planets. Pluto is a dwarf planet. Saturn, Neptune, and Jupiter have more "normal" axial tilts compared to Uranus.

Answer:

Uranus.
