Are Uranus' rings slanted?
Any time a planet has rings they will be aligned with the planet's equator. Uranus' axis is highly tilted such that its rings are almost perpendicular to its orbit.
Why is the Uranus tipped?
Uranus is tipped because a large comet crashed into Uranus, causing the planet to tilt. It's fifteen known moons adjusted their orbit to travel over and under the planet instead of around the equator.
What is Uranus' exact size in kilometers?
Planet Uranus has a surface area of 8.1156×10^9 km2
How many miles wide is uranus?
Uranus is the third largest planet in the Solar System. The distance across Uranus is 31,518 miles, which is also 50,724 kilometers.
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.
Which way are the rings and equator oriented around Uranus?
The rings and equator on Uranus are oriented north to south. Unlike the equator on earth that runs from east to west.
Does Uranus have an equator?

What planet is about the same size as Uranus?
Neptune is pretty comparable to Uranus, with Uranus being slightly larger, and Neptune slightly heavier. Neptune's radius at the equator is is about 3.88 Earths, while Uranus is about 4.0 Earths for the same measurement.
Are Uranus' rings slanted?
Any time a planet has rings they will be aligned with the planet's equator. Uranus' axis is highly tilted such that its rings are almost perpendicular to its orbit.
How do day and night at Uranus' equator change as Uranus revolves around the sun?
Only a narrow strip around the equator experiences a rapid day-night cycle, but with the Sun very low over the horizon as in the Earth's polar regions.
what is the equatorial circumference on Uranus?
4104569222 km the Diameter of Uranus is about 51,118 kilometres (equatorial diameter). So the circumference is about 160,592 kilometres. What is the distance around the equator on Uranus? The equatorial circumference of Uranus is 4104569222 Km.
Is it very stormy or calm in Uranus?
Wind speeds on Uranus range from 0 miles per hour at the poles to 240 miles per hour near the equator. Uranus is frozen therefore calm
