Is it windy at all in space? Was it a physical object that knocked the planet to its side?

Gas giants aren’t loose balls of gas, they get very dense as you go further in to them and it quickly becomes more like a liquid/solid than a gas. So anything big colliding with it like another planet will be able to properly hit it with a lot of force.
