The days on this planet may last 42 earth years and the seasons may last 21 earth years?
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.
How many light years is Jupiter from earth?
Jupiter is about 43 light minutes from the earth on average.
How many miles are in 4000 light years?
(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 ???
What does it the mean by 'life the universe and everything'?
42. This was the question posed to a super computer, Deep Thought by name, with a brain the size of a planet and after zillions of years of cogitation, the above was the answer given to the question.
How many miles are in 148 light years?
Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. There are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, and 365.26 days in a year. You want to know what 148 light years equals? Just multiply all those numbers together.
How many years equals 42 light years?
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.
How far is planet Kepler from planet earth?
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.
Which planet experiences 42 earth years of constant summer followed by 42 earth years of dark winter?
Uranus experiences 42 earth years of summer followed by 42 earth years of winter.
Which planet has both 42 years of darkness and sun?
Uranus
Which planet experiences constant daylight or darkness for 42 years at its poles?
URANUS
Does planet Darwin 4 really exist?
yes. it exists it takes 42 years to catch it it is called our twin planet

Why does one side of Uranus get 42 years of light while the other gets 42 years of darkness?
Uranus' axis is tilted almost 90 degrees.
What number is the earth?
planet three
Why do astronomers give the distance from the stars as light years in stead of kilometers?
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.
What are facts about Uranus and its relationship to Earth?
# Uranus is a planet. # It has rings around it. # Uranus' rings might have formed from broken moons. # Since it lies on its side, the North Pole gets 42 years of daylight while the South Pole gets 43 years of darkness.
What is the apparent magnitude of capella star?
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.
