OUT ATMOSPHERE IS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE!!! I NEED AN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION please?

Winds in the atmosphere of planets are mostly 'zonal' (i.e. they blow mostly parallel to the planet's equator), apparently irrespective of the tilt of its spin axis. Why is this puzzling for Uranus?

Uranus rotates on a horizontal plane to the rest of the solar system, where as all the other planets rotate vertically. That's why the winds on Uranus travel in a the direction they do. So the winds on Uranus still blow parallel to its equator.
