Uranus mainly has a hydrogen and helium atmosphere, which also contains ices. The ices are frozen water, ammonia and methane. Although a lot larger than the earth, the gravity on Uranus is 0.886g, where one g is the earths gravity. This is due to the relatively low density of the planet.

Would gravity squash the person on Uranus?

No. While Uranus has a greater mass than Earth it also has a grater radius and gravity decreases with greater distance from an object's center. In the case of Uranus, it works out that surface gravity is about 89% of what it is on Earth, so you would actually be a little bit lighter.


Why doesn't gravity flatten the atmosphere against Earth's surface?

It does, actually. Gravity pulls down on the atmosphere (otherwise it would spin off into space from centripetal force). That is why at sea level, the atmospheric pressure is about 15 pounds per square inch; but the higher you get, the thinner the air is. Here is something interesting (and kind of on the same subject) when Pluto is at Aphelion it's atmosphere becomes a solid and gravity pulls it to the surface.


What kind of gas does Uranus have?

Uranus is one of the gas giants that is almost completely comprised of gas. The main gases in the atmosphere of Uranus is hydrogen and helium.


What kind of glow does uranus have from the gas on its surface?

Uranus does not actually have a glowing surface like some other planets, as it does not generate its own light. The hazy, bluish-green color of Uranus comes from the presence of methane gas in its atmosphere, which absorbs red light and reflects blue and green light back into space.


Have man-kind landed on Uranus?

No, mankind has not landed on Uranus. Uranus is a distant ice giant planet in our solar system that has not been visited by any spacecraft. The challenges of traveling to and landing on Uranus are immense due to its distance from Earth and extreme atmospheric conditions.

It doesn't have enough gravity to have an atmosphere?

The moon is one of the heavenly bodies that do not have gravity and hence lack atmosphere. It is also worth noting that the moon does not emit light of its own but rather reflects the sun's light.
