84 earth years
Uranus rotates once every 17 hours 14 minutes and 24 seconds. A year is 84.3 earth years on Uranus.
The time of rotation (day) for Uranus is about 17 hours and 14 minutes. The time for one revolution around the Sun (Uranus year) is 30,799 Earth days or about 84.3 Earth years.Uranus's revolution is 87 earth years
The rotation period of Uranus is about 17.24 Earth hours. Its year (orbital period around the Sun) is about 84.3 Earth years, due to its great distance from the Sun. The "solar day" is mostly irrelevant since there is no solid surface to receive sunlight. However, Uranus is spinning "on its side" and points each pole toward the Sun during its orbit. This means that the period of sunlight varies immensely for locations near the poles, cycling from a few seconds every 17 hours to more than 42 Earth years long. This is an extreme version of the six months of day and night experienced at Earth's poles.
The rotational period for Uranus varies. Since Uranus is a gaseous celestial object, the interior of Uranus rotates slower than it's poles. The interior of Uranus rotates once every 17 hours and 14 minutes. However, the very strong winds in the direction of rotation causes some latitudes, such as that of about two-thirds from the equator to the south pole, full rotation occurs in as little as 14 hours. As for the Orbital period of Uranus: once every 84 Earth years.
-- The 'year' on Uranus ... the period of its orbital revolution around the sun ... is 84.3 Earth years. -- Uranus rotates on its axis in 17hours 14minutes of Earth time. Because of the way its rotation axis is inclined, a day can be anything from zero up to about 42.1 Earth years, depending on where it is in its orbit, and where you happen to be standing on its surface.
Uranus's length of year is 83 earth years, 273 earth days.

17 years
A year on Uranus is equivalent to 84 earth years.84 Earth years or 30,240 earth days
It would be 840.7 earth years, as 84.07 earth years is 1 Uranus year.
A full day on Uranus is 17 hours, 14 minutes and 24 seconds ( to be exact.). In other words, a day on Uranus is shorter than a full day on Earth.
