The uranium used in the Hiroshima atomic bomb came from the Oak Ridge facility in Tennessee, where it was enriched as part of the Manhattan Project. The uranium used was the isotope uranium-235, which was extracted and purified from natural uranium ore.
Power plants typically source uranium from mines located around the world. The uranium is mined, processed, and then enriched to the appropriate level for use in nuclear reactors. Some uranium may also come from reprocessed nuclear fuel.
Some examples of uranium compounds are: uranyl nitrate, uranium dioxide, uranium hexafluoride, uranium tetrachloride, triuraniumoctaoxide, uranyl acetate, uranium iodide, uranium nitride, uranium, sulfide, uranium carbide, uranyl sulfate, etc.
Uranium oxide is a compound made up of uranium and oxygen, and is not considered a metal. Uranium itself is a metal, but when combined with oxygen to form uranium oxide, it becomes a ceramic material.
Uranium-238 and uranium-234 are not "elements", but they are natural isotopes of the chemical element uranium. The atoms are neutral.
The name of the chemical element uranium is derived from the name of the planet Uranus; and Uranus was a Greek deity.
Uranium is not directly produced by the sun. Uranium is formed through the process of supernova nucleosynthesis during the explosion of massive stars. Elements like uranium are created during supernova explosions, where the intense heat and pressure fusion lighter elements into heavier ones.
The uranium enrichment facilty was at Oak Ridge.

No, but a living organism can get uranium poisoning. Scientists say that all the Earths uranium came from 1 or more supernovae about 6 billion years ago.
Uranium name is derived from the name of the planet Uranus. Uranus was discovered a few years before the discovery of Klaproth in 1789 - a mineral containing uranium.
Uranium 235 is a natural isotope of uranium (the concentration is approx. 0,7 %); uranium 235 is separated from the other uranium isotopes by different methods (centrifugation, gaseous diffusion;also on small scale by laser, mass spectrometric, ion exchange, etc.).
This conclusion can not be drawn from planet name Uranus, Uranus is a gaseous planet and what is in its core it is unknown we have very little knowledge about its inner part but chances of presence of Uranium are very rare.
