The x-axis and the y-axis should always be perpendicular so that you can express any point in a 2-dimensional plane using an x value and a y value. They are perpendicular so that using them and visualizing is easier, so that x values have no impact on y values and vice versa, and so that formulas like the distance formula can be used. In general, right angles are much easier to work with than oblique or acute angles.

What planet is almost tilted 90 degrees on its axis?

Uranus is the planet that is almost tilted 90 degrees on its axis. Its extreme axial tilt results in the planet's poles being almost in line with its orbital plane, causing highly unusual seasons and weather patterns on Uranus.
