Uranus , the seventh planet from our sun and the first planet discovered with a telescope, revolves around the sun once every 84 Earth years. The rotational period of the interior of Uranus is 17 hours, 14 minutes. As on all giant planets, its upper atmosphere experiences very strong winds in the direction of rotation. Visible features of the atmosphere (winds) move much faster, making a full rotation in as little as 14 hours.
An intresting fact about Uranus is that it has the coldest atmosphere in the Solar System, with a minimum temperature of 49 K (-224 C °). Uranus's internal heat is substantially lower than that of the other giant planets; in astronomical terms, it has a low thermal flux. Why Uranus's internal temperature is so low is still not understood. One of the hypotheses for this discrepancy is that Uranus was hit by a massive entity, the nature of which is unknown. This seems to indicate that this planet experienced a personal Big Bang, in addition to the primary one that marked the beginning of the universe.
In December 2005, the Hubble telescope detected a pair of previously unknown rings. The largest is located at twice the distance from the planet of the previously known rings. These new rings are so far from the planet that they are called the "outer" ring system. Hubble also spotted two small satellites, one of which, Mab, shares its orbit with the outermost newly discovered ring. The new rings bring the total number of Uranian rings to 13.
Another interesting fact is that Uranus is the only planet named after a Roman god, rather than a Greek like the other planets.
What else can I help you with?
What planet rotates on its side at a 90 degree angle?
Uranus.
What planet in our solar system rotates on its side?
Uranus. It is tipped over on its side at 98°
What planet rotates at 90 degrees to the others?
Uranus is the planet that rotates at about a 90-degree angle compared to the other planets in our solar system. This unique tilt causes Uranus to essentially roll on its side as it orbits the Sun.
Which planet is called the side ways planet?
Uranus is known as the "sideways planet" because it rotates on its side, with its axis tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees. This unique orientation gives Uranus its distinctive appearance and causes extreme seasons on the planet.
Which blue green planet rotates on its side because of the tilt of its axis?
The blue-green planet that rotates on its side due to the tilt of its axis is Uranus. Its axis is tilted at about 98 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun, causing it to essentially roll on its side as it orbits.
What is the only planet that rotates on its side?
Uranus is the only planet which rotates on its side, with an axial tilt of 97.86 degrees.
What planet has a vertical tilt and rotates on its side?
Uranus rotates nearly on its 'side'.
Which outer planets rotate on their sides?
Uranus is the only outer planet (and only planet in our solar system) that rotates on its side.
Which planet rotates on its side at a 90 angle?
Uranus.
What is the only planet tilted on it side?
Uranus, with a tilt of 98°. All planets have some tilt, but Uranus' tilt is so extreme, it rotates on its side.
What planet rotates on its side at a 90 degree angle?
Uranus.
Which planet rotates on its side?
Uranus is the planet that rotates on its side, with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This unusual tilt causes extreme seasonal variations on Uranus, where one pole can be in constant sunlight while the other experiences continuous darkness for long periods.
What planet rotates on it's side?
Uranus rotates on its side, tilted so far over that its axis of rotation is almost parallel to its orbit around the sun. This unique tilt causes extreme seasonal changes on Uranus, with its poles experiencing long periods of sunlight or darkness.
Which planet spin on its side?
The planet Uranus spins on its side.
What outer planet is tilted on its side and rotates from top to bottom?
Uranus
What is an unusual thing about Uranus?
It rotates on its side, relative to the plane of the solar system. It is the only planet in the solar system that does this.
The planet that rotates on its side?
Uranus is the planet in our solar system that rotates on its side. Its axial tilt is approximately 98 degrees, causing it to essentially roll on its side as it orbits the sun. This unique tilt results in extreme seasonal variations on Uranus.
