What else can I help you with?
Are Uranus' five largest moons like?
They have Icy, cratered surfaces.
How did Uranus get many of its smaller moons?
It's not clear where Uranus' moons have come from. Theories suggest they were pulled into orbit or formed alongside Uranus during the development of the Solar System.
What are the 2 moons that surround Uranus?
Looks like we've got a jokester... Uranus has 27 known satellites.
What planet has 23 known moons?
Oh, dude, that would be Uranus! Yeah, Uranus has 27 moons, which is like, more than enough to throw a wild moon party. So, if you're ever in the mood for some moon gazing, Uranus is the place to be.
Is there any water on Uranus moons?
There is evidence to suggest that Uranus' moons may contain water ice in their interiors. However, the surface of these moons is mainly composed of a mixture of water ice and other compounds like rock and carbonaceous materials. Further exploration is needed to confirm the presence of water on Uranus' moons.
What are facts about the moons of Uranus?
Like all the outer planets, Uranus is surrounded by a swarm of moons. As of 2011, there are 27 known and named moons. Five are large icy satellites that were discovered from Earth, eleven were located by Voyager 2 in 1986, and the rest in telescopic surveys since 1997. The orbits of the inner 13 moons are intimately connected to the rings of Uranus, which are thin and tenuous. These moons are small, none larger than 162 km in diameter and some as small as only 18 to 30 km. The orbits are thought to have changed substantially since they were first established. The outer 9 moons are thought to be captured asteroids, and all but one orbit in the opposite direction from the five large moons, and millions of kilometers farther from the planet. The outermost, Ferdinand, averages 20 million km from Uranus and is estimated to require 7.7 Earth years to make a single orbit of the planet. Although Voyager 2 performed a survey of Uranus' moons, it passed by when tilted Uranus was at the height of southern summer. As a result, only the southern hemispheres of Uranus's moons have ever been imaged by spacecraft. Additionally, the "bull's-eye" pattern of Uranus' rings and moons on the sky meant that Voyager 2 saw only Miranda close-up; the rest of the moons were only seen distantly.
How many moons do Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune and Pluto have?
Jupiter has 63 known natural satellites (with a 64th and more possible as of 2008). Saturn has 60 or more, Uranus 27 or more, Neptune 13 currently known, and Pluto has three confirmed moons (the largest, Charon, is nearly the same size as Pluto).
What are the names of Uranus moon names and why they were named that?
miranda. That's one of them. There used to be 5 known moons of Uranus, but there's more now. The "traditional" five are : Miranda Ariel Umbriel Titania Oberon. They are all named after characters from Shakespeare's plays.
Would you fall off of Uranus?
No, like all planets (and most moons), uranus has enough gravity to prevent things from flying off into space.
What is the day time and night time temperature?
Uranus has many different temperatures just like Earth. Uranus doesn't just have one temperature. But Uranus's average tempature is -95685 Celsius. It also has many planets that rotate around it like Neptune, Saturn and of coarse the sun. Uranus had 27 moons unlike Earth.
What is a Uranus' moon like?
Uranus's moons are made up of half ice (with some ammonia and carbon dioxide) and half rock. Being so far away from the sun, it is extremely cold as well.
Are there any special features on Uranus?
It was once thought to be a comet.It takes 84 Earth years to orbit once around the sun.It has at least twenty moons and ten rings.It is difficult to see even through a telescope because it is 2 billion miles from the sun.All other eight planets have poles at the top and bottom. Uranus has poles on the sides and orbits like it is lying down.It is a gas giant.The temperature is around -357°F*Yes Uranus's is named after the god of the sky.
