Is Uranus in the west

Answer 1

As seen from Earth in the night sky, all objects change their position. There is also the factor of

the Earth's rotation. Most objects in the sky ... day or night ... appear to rise in the east and travel

across the sky toward the west. (You may have noticed the daily behavior of the sun.) So when

Uranus can be seen, the direction to look for it in will depend on the time and also where you are

on the Earth, as that too can make a difference. There are many websites, like Heavens-Above.com

which will give you locations of objects in the night sky when they can be seen.

Answer 2

In the evening sky, Uranus is currently located in the southeastern sky. Its position changes throughout the night as Earth rotates. If you are looking for Uranus in the western sky, you will need to wait until early morning when it sets in the west.
