Answer: perpendicular (an angle of 90°)

Step-by-step explanation:

Most of the planets from our Solar System's orbit around the Sun in the same way, and do so with their axes of rotation, meaning the direction they rotate locally, orientated in an approximately perpendicular way. Uranus is a planetary singularity because it is tilted over, with its axis almost parallel to its orbit.
