Question

question #1
imagine that astronomers discovered a new planet in a solar system much like ours. the planets axis of rotation is almost completely horizontal, but the period of revolution is 365 days, similar to earths. what would its seasons be like?
there would be no seasons; each day and night would be equal everywhere on the planet all year long.
the seasons would be like earths, but backwards - the north hemisphere would experience winter conditions when our northern hemisphere would have summer, and the winter days would be longer than the summer days.
one side of the planet would always be in a \summer\ day, and the other would always be in a \winter\ night.
the seasons would be much like earths, except they would each last one earth year.

Explanation:

The seasons on Earth are caused by the tilt of its axis of rotation. If a planet has an almost completely horizontal axis of rotation (similar to Uranus in our solar system), one side of the planet would always be facing towards the star (resulting in a long "summer" - like period with continuous daylight) and the other side would always be facing away (resulting in a long "winter" - like period with continuous darkness).

Answer:

One side of the planet would always be in a "summer" day, and the other would always be in a "winter" night.
