And what is big enough to "bump" a gas-giant sideways?

Hmmm... lemme think...

In spite of all the stupid jokes, a most interesting topic. Thanks for posting it.

Since our inclination causes our seasons, makes you wonder what they would be like on Uranus (and please, no more dumb comments).

Since Uranus is so far from the sun, the difference in the seasons would be negligible. Summer would still be close to solid methane temp...........

Actually, I was thinking what the effect would be on Earth’s seasons if our axis was inclined that far. Guess I wasn’t clear

Sideways? Is that like bumbling down the banister?

If Earth was tilted mach further than it is now, the ‘seasons’ would be extreme, to say the least. There would probably be only two: Fire and Ice. .....
