4.2 light years is the distance to the Alpha Centauri Star System.
Because Uranus' axis of rotation is in the plane of its orbit, the poles of the planet face the Sun. This means that each pole is illuminated for half of its 84.3 (Earth) year orbit, making a day on the planet last roughly 42 Earth years.
Uranus is the planet that is tilted almost horizontally, with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This unusual tilt causes extreme seasonal variations on the planet, with each pole experiencing 42 years of continuous daylight followed by 42 years of darkness.
Uranus is the only planet which rotates on its side, with an axial tilt of 97.86 degrees.
Jupiter is approximately 4.2 astronomical units, or about 4.2 times the distance from Earth to the Sun. Since 1 astronomical unit is roughly equal to the average distance between Earth and the Sun, Jupiter is about 4.2 times 93 million miles away from Earth, or roughly 391.2 million miles.
(4.06 X 10-8) x (5.8787 x 1012) = 238,680 miles(rounded)That number looks strangely similar to the moon's average distance from earth.Could that be what the questioner was getting at ???
None. "Year" is a period of time, but "light year" is a distance ... the distance light travels in a year. If a distance could be converted to a time, then you'd be able to figure out how many minutes wide your bedroom is.
Uranus experiences 42 earth years of summer followed by 42 earth years of winter.
The Kepler Satellite has discovered well over a thousand planetary candidates, via transit. Kepler-10 b is 173 parsecs (564 light years) while Kepler-35(AB) b is 1645 parsecs (5365 light years). Kepler 42 b, c, & d are 38.7 parsecs (126 light years). This satellite is not a planet, but rather an artifact orbiting our sun at about the same distance as the Earth, built to detect exoplanets. Exoplanets are planets that orbit stars beyond ours.
Uranus
yes. it exists it takes 42 years to catch it it is called our twin planet

The poles are in Constant darkness or light for 40 years at a time!My daughter had trouble with science so i asked her science teacher and she gave me the anwser. So hers to all you mothers helping with science homework!

The planet experiencing constant daylight or darkness for 42 years at its poles is Uranus. This phenomenon is due to the unique tilt of Uranus's axis, which causes one pole to face the Sun continuously for half of its 84-year orbit, while the other pole is in constant darkness.
There are 9.46073x1012 km per light year. So the nearest star is 42.257x1012 (42 trillion) km away. Such numbers are large and cumbersome. It is much easier to say that the nearest star is 4.5 light years away, and this value also yields immediately the amount of time required for light to travel from that star to us. The lightyear is therefore a very natural unit of measurement. Sometimes astronomers use parsecs, or the distance from our sun to an object with a parallax angle equal to one arc second. This works out to 3.2615638 light years. I personally prefer the light year unit of measurement.
Capella is the brightest star in the constellation Auriga.It has an apparent magnitude of +0.91.However Capella is a four star system split into two pairs of binary star systems. They just appear from Earth as a single star.
42 years = 22,089,848.2 minutes
