A planet has seasons because of the tilt of its axis. Also because of the rotation and the orbit around the sun.

What do earth and Uranus have in common besides they both have moons and orbit things?
uranus has seasons just like we do...but not as long.they both have storms.and both has a core
How does the axial tilt of Uranus affect its seasons?
The sun ray hits only one area
How long is a season on uranus?
Uranus is similar to Earth in that it has four seasons. However, it takes Uranus 84 years to orbit the sun versus 365 days for the Earth making each season 21 years long.
Does Uranus have seasons?
Uranus is at a distance of about 19 AU from the Sun, which means that the Sun's rays are about 1/361 times as bright as on Earth. That's only about 4.5 watts per square metre. So, the surface temperature of Uranus is only about minus 200 degrees Celsius, on average. Sometimes the Sun is above the equator of Uranus and there is equal night and day on the planet. At other times the Sun is above one of the planet's poles. In fact, the Sun is near overhead, without setting, for several Earth years at the poles of Uranus. The whole cycle takes 84 years, so there are long periods when the Sun is never visible in many places on Uranus. So, the seasons would be more extreme than on Earth, if Uranus were at the same distance from the Sun as Earth. At the times of their "summer", the poles of Uranus get hotter than the equator of Uranus ever gets. But the temperatures are always very low everywhere compared with Earth.
Are the seasons on Uranus mild or extreme?
They are close to non-existent, first because Uranus is so far from the Sun, and second because Uranus is a gas giant. The huge volume of gas keeps the planet pretty close to the same temperature all the time.
Does Uranus have seasons if so then describe them?
Uranus doesn't have seasons.
What causes Uranus extreame seasons?
What causes Uranus extreme seasons is it's rotational axis
What planet has seasons that last 20 years?
uranus
Is Saturn and Mars and earth are the only ones with seasons?
No, any planet with an axial tilt will have seasons, for instance Uranus has seasons.
Which planet has the longest seasons?
Pluto must be a likely answer. We know it does show signs of changes on its surface over time. Its eccentric orbit is as important a factor as its axial tilt. Pluto's axial tilt is extreme, similar to that of Uranus. So, for long periods of Pluto's orbit, one of the polar regions is (roughly) facing the Sun and the other will be in darkness.
Does Uranus have strong seasons or permanently cold poles?
yes it dose.
Which planet has a tilted axis so that the planet has seasons?
Uranus and Pluto have a tilt and have extreme seasons. Mars, Saturn, and Neptune have seasons that are similar to ours.
Do any of the outer planets have seasons?
Yes.They have winter ,summers etc. The seasons of Uranus lasts for 20 years because of its TILT.
