Did Uranus get hit and knock on its side?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, it is believed that a very violent collision with a body roughly the size of Earth tipped Uranus on its side. This collision likely occurred early in the solar system's history and caused Uranus to have its unique tilted axis of rotation.

Why is Uranus the seventh planet from the sun?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun because it is located at that distance in the solar system, counting from the sun outwards. The distance of planets from the sun is determined by the formation and evolution of the solar system.

Are humans planning to travel to uranus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are currently no plans for humans to travel to Uranus. The distance and extreme conditions make it incredibly challenging for human exploration. However, unmanned missions and studies continue to gather data about Uranus and its atmosphere.

The International Space Station develops a hole in its oter wall why is this dangerous to the astronauts inside?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A hole in the outer wall of the International Space Station (ISS) is dangerous because it compromises the station's pressurized environment. It can lead to a loss of air pressure, which could be life-threatening to the astronauts. Additionally, the hole may expose the station to the vacuum of space, potentially causing further damage to critical systems and exposing the crew to extreme temperatures and radiation.

How many milliliters is Earth away from Uranus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your question does not make sense, milliliters is a measurement of volume not distance.

If, perhaps, you meant millimeters, consider that both the Earth and Uranus are both constantly orbiting the Sun; both are constantly moving. The distance constantly changes. At their closest, Uranus is 2.57 billion km. (2,370,000,000,000,000mm) from Earth. At the most distant point, they are separated by 3.15 billion km. (or 3,150,000,000,000,000mm). Both of those are quadrillions in standard notation.

Uranus is about 4 times larger in diameter than Earth, making it the third largest planet in our solar system. However, it is significantly less massive than Earth.

Could the Moon have been captured by the Earth from Uranus 3.5 billion years ago?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, it is highly unlikely that the Moon was captured from Uranus. The prevailing theory is that the Moon was formed from debris ejected by a giant impact between the early Earth and another Mars-sized body, often referred to as "Theia," around 4.5 billion years ago. This theory is supported by various lines of evidence, including the Moon's composition, which closely resembles that of the Earth's mantle.

How many satellites went to Uranus and what year?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As of now, no spacecraft or satellites have been sent to Uranus. However, there have been missions that have conducted flybys of Uranus, such as Voyager 2 which passed by the planet in 1986, providing valuable data and images. There is a proposed mission called Uranus Pathfinder that aims to send a dedicated orbiter to Uranus in the future, but no specific year has been set yet.

How fast do tanks move?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When speaking of the speed of tanks, first you should categorize which era of tanks. Tanks come in the categories of WWI, WWII, and Modern Tanks.

The WWI tank, mainly the Mark IV British tank, were the first of their kind. Considering that it was based off a tractor and was one of the first tanks ever, it would obviously come with flaws. One of these was a speed of four miles per hour. An average soldier could run faster.

The WWII tank increased in speed and included the rotating head, a contribution from the French. It traveled around eight miles per hour.

The current tank has increased in mobility. It can now move through much rougher turrain. It has a speed of 25 miles per hour.

Hope that could help!

Can gas giants get frozen?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, but it depends on what types of gasses the planet is made up of, and the location of the planet. ex.if the location of the planet is far from a star, its chances of getting frozen are increased.

Does Uranus have any myths or legends?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. here is one of the best answers you will see here, :) (Oh, and, Zeus is Jupiter in roman mythology)

One day, A long time ago, many people were scared. Why? Because they thought Zeus was coming back to earth soon. They were scared because, Zeus has tons of power. And this myth will explain.

One stormy night, Zeus tested the kindess in the kingdom. One day he dressed up as a poor peasant asking for food. Zeus traveled along the state with many NO'S!!!!!!! Zeus was angry and tried one more door. An old woman and man opened the door. The old woman and man did not have much money, and had nothing to give, but they helped Zeus with a serving of rice. Zeus thanked the man and woman afterwards and headed back to his kingdom. Zeus became very angry because out of all the people in the city, only two people helped him. He was very upset with all the rude and selfish people that he decided to flood the earth. The flood destroyed the houses of the people and the cold-hearted people inside them. The only survivors were the man and woman. Later, The man and woman became very lonely. Then a voice told them:

Throw stones ahead of you. You will be amazed.

The man and woman did as they were told and they watched in amazement. The rock slowly turned into human beings. In that way, humans were returned to earth. ( But some a bit more kind)

HOW WAS THAT?!?!?! This was my first reply :)

Is uranus on its side?

Asked by Wiki User

Uranus was knocked off its axis due to a collision with another large object passing through space . The object was nearly the size of uranus.
All planets have a tilted axis. The Gravity of the Sun and other planets force the tilt.

Why would a 2003 Toyota Tundra not go into 4wd low?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the transfer case lever moves all the way, you likely have an issue with your lockers. If you have manual lockers, remember to first lock them! If you have locked them and they still don't engage, you may need to take them apart and clean+grease them. If you have the LSi Tracker, you have likely got the Auto locking hubs. Those are terrible as far as reliability. Auto lockers need to be cleaned and inspected every 15k if you want to be able to put any trust in them. If you have auto's try going about 3 feet in reverse after selecting 4WD. If you hear clicking, the lockers are attempting to lock, but can't. (They need servicing) Hope this helps! For all the answers you could ever need related to Suzuki Sidekicks, Geo Trackers, Chevy Trackers (pre 99... they are all the same) Go to http://www.kick-fix.com/ The guy is a genius.

Why would a 1992 Jeep Wrangler go into 5th gear?

Asked by Wiki User

you need to try and get codes out of the Transmission Control Module (TCM). The lamp in the Overdrive OFF switch is used to signal the various flash codes. To view flash codes, proceed as follows: # Turn ignition key ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON finally leaving the key in the ON position. Leave the Overdrive OFF Switch in the normal overdrive (ON) position. # Immediately begin counting the number of flashes displayed by the Overdrive OFF Switch indicator lamp. # Flash codes will correspond to Powertrain Control Module codes in duration and spacing. # A code 55 identifies the end of flash code transmission. And the possible codes are: * 11 No Engine Speed Sensor Signal * 12 No Output Shaft Sensor Signal * 13 No Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal * 14 Governor Pressure Sensor Signal * 15 Throttle Position Signal * 16 Transmission Temperature Sensor * 17 Overdrive Off Switch Circuit * 18 System Voltage Out of Limits * 19 Standby Voltage Out of Limits * 21 Governor Pressure Solenoid Circuit * 22 3-4 Solenoid Circuit * 23 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit * 24 Overdrive Off Lamp Circuit * 25 EEPROM Checksum Error * 26 Governor Pressure Sensor Offset Drift * 55 End of Message If you still get no codes, then we have to explore a mechanical problem inside the transmission. Possibly the overdrive solenoid not venting or a lower valve body malfunction.
