Uranus mainly has a hydrogen and helium atmosphere, which also contains ices. The ices are frozen water, ammonia and methane. Although a lot larger than the earth, the gravity on Uranus is 0.886g, where one g is the earths gravity. This is due to the relatively low density of the planet.

Would gravity squash the person on Uranus?
No. While Uranus has a greater mass than Earth it also has a grater radius and gravity decreases with greater distance from an object's center. In the case of Uranus, it works out that surface gravity is about 89% of what it is on Earth, so you would actually be a little bit lighter.
What kind of gas does Uranus have?
Uranus is one of the gas giants that is almost completely comprised of gas. The main gases in the atmosphere of Uranus is hydrogen and helium.
Why doesn't gravity flatten the atmosphere against Earth's surface?
It does, actually. Gravity pulls down on the atmosphere (otherwise it would spin off into space from centripetal force). That is why at sea level, the atmospheric pressure is about 15 pounds per square inch; but the higher you get, the thinner the air is. Here is something interesting (and kind of on the same subject) when Pluto is at Aphelion it's atmosphere becomes a solid and gravity pulls it to the surface.
Have man-kind landed on Uranus?
Man-kind has never landed on Uranus. The only celestial bodies that man has visited is the moon. Voyager 2 did a successful fly-by of Uranus on January 24, 1986.
What kind of planets are Saturn Jupiter Uranus and Neptune?
Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are the outer planets and are also gas giant planets.
What kind of gravity does uranus have?
There aren't different "kinds of gravity"; there is only one.
What kind of gasses make up Uranus' atmosphere?
The gases that make up Uranus' atmosphere is mainly hydrogen, helium, and methane.
What kind of atmosphere is Uranus?
It is mainly hydrogen with some helium. There are small amounts of other gases particularly methane.

What kind of storms are there on Uranus?
thunder storms, hurracanes and tornadoes. Uranus is the 3rd most wet and cold planet.
What percentage pollution is in your atmosphere?
Really, it depends on what kind of pollution, and how much there is. If there is a lot of pollution, and it is very strong, then the percent should be more than 50%. If there is not much, and it is not very strong, less than 40%.
