With a TELESCOPE! durr
Sir John Frederick William Herschel accidentally discovered Uranus in1781.
William Herschel discovered Uranus on March 13, 1781.
He didn't
Uranus was first observed through a telescope by German-born British astronomer Sir William Herschel on March 13, 1781. Herschel initially thought it was a comet, but further observations confirmed it as a new planet. Its discovery expanded the known boundaries of the solar system and marked a significant milestone in the field of astronomy.
No. He discovered great moons, which, had they not been orbiting planets might have been considered planets themselves, but the first new planet since antiquity was Uranus, discovered by Sir William Herschel.
William Herschel discovered them both on January 11, 1787.

Mercury - Has been known for thousands of years. However, it is the most difficult of the "naked eye" planets to see.Venus - Has been visible to everyone who has looked into the skies.Earth - The first to scientifically identify Earth as a planet was probably Copernicus.Mars - Has been visible to everyone who has looked into the skies.Jupiter - Has been visible to everyone who has looked into the skies.Saturn - Has been visible to everyone who has looked into the skies.Uranus - William Herschel was the first to see and identify Uranus as a planet.Neptune - Johann Galle and Heinrich d'Arrest, based on calculations by Urbain Le Verrier (and John Couch Adams).
Not at all! Since Uranus is gaseous rather than solid, its force of gravity is actually less than Earth's. If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 86 pounds on the surface of Uranus, if you could find some place to stand on. You would freeze to death on Uranus, though, as the temperature is around -300 degrees F.
