At Uranus, the extreme tilt of its axis (about 98 degrees) means that its equator experiences prolonged periods of sunlight and darkness as it revolves around the Sun. Each pole may be in continuous sunlight for about 42 years, followed by 42 years of darkness during its 84-year orbit. This results in unique day-night cycles, with equatorial regions experiencing dramatic shifts in illumination over time. Consequently, Uranus has a highly unusual day-night cycle compared to most other planets in the solar system.

How do day and night on Uranus' equator change a it revolves?
Uranus has an extreme axial tilt of about 98 degrees, causing its equator to be nearly horizontal relative to its orbit around the Sun. As a result, day and night at its equator can last for long periods; during its summer solstice, one pole experiences continuous daylight for about 42 Earth years, while the opposite pole is in darkness. This cycle reverses during the winter solstice, leading to similarly prolonged periods of night. Thus, the unique tilt of Uranus results in dramatic variations in daylight and darkness over its 84-year orbital period.

The length of day and night changes more at the poles than at the equator throughout the year.

In contrast, the equator experiences relatively consistent day lengths of about 12 hours throughout the year, with only slight variations.
