A new study that has yet to be peer-reviewed may finally answer why Uranus' tilt is so unique and extremely 'off-kilter.'
Uranus has always been an intriguing planet for astronomers to study. First discovered in 1781, Uranus quickly became known for its odd and extremely “off-kilter” tilt. The seventh planet from the Sun has always seemed to march to its own beat, and while it might share some similarities with other ice giants in our solar system, Uranus’ tilt has always baffled scientists.
partly because of their blueish color and similarities. Of course, Neptune’s axis isn’t nearly as skewed as Uranus, which is one reason that scientists have struggled to determine what caused Uranus’ strange tilt.the reasoning may have to do with a long-lost satellite. The study, which has yet to be peer-reviewed, is available on

This means that those kinds of impacts would have also left Neptune susceptible to similar changes if it were hit. This is why so many believe a giant ring system or a lost satellite are the main cause for Uranus’ unique tilt.g as its moons migrate away from it.
