the planet whose pole was facing the sun when voyager 2 approached in 1986 was:?

Question

a.) neptune
b.) saturn
c.) jupiter
d.) uranus
e.) pluto

Answer 1

Uranus. All the other planets have poles that are more or less perpendicular to the plane of their orbits. Uranus' is tipped 89 degrees. Since all of our space probes are more or less in the plane of the planetary orbits, that would make Uranus' pole point towards and away from the sun or at right angles to that alignment, but still in the same plane.

Answer 2

Uranus

Answer 3

If I remember this right it was c...Jupiter. And i believe it was the first time that any pictures were taken of the pole of Jupiter it the only calm area on the whole planet.
