Uranus is at a distance of about 19 AU from the Sun, which means that the Sun's rays are about 1/361 times as bright as on Earth. That's only about 4.5 watts per square metre.
So, the surface temperature of Uranus is only about minus 200 degrees Celsius, on average.
Sometimes the Sun is above the equator of Uranus and there is equal night and day on the planet.
At other times the Sun is above one of the planet's poles.
In fact, the Sun is near overhead, without setting, for several Earth years at the poles of Uranus.
The whole cycle takes 84 years, so there are long periods when the Sun is never visible in many places on Uranus.
So, the seasons would be more extreme than on Earth, if Uranus were at the same distance from the Sun as Earth.
At the times of their "summer", the poles of Uranus get hotter than
the equator of Uranus ever gets.
But the temperatures are always very low everywhere compared with Earth.
What else can I help you with?
How does the axial tilt of Uranus affect its seasons?
The sun ray hits only one area
Why does Uranus have seasons?
Uranus has seasons because its axis is tilted by about 98 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun. This extreme tilt causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight as it orbits, resulting in distinct seasonal changes.
What are the physical properties of uranus?
Uranus is a gas giant with a predominantly hydrogen and helium atmosphere. It has a bluish color due to methane in its atmosphere absorbing red light. Uranus rotates on its side, giving it unique seasons and a magnetic field that is tilted at an angle.
Are the seasons on Uranus mild or extreme?
They are close to non-existent, first because Uranus is so far from the Sun, and second because Uranus is a gas giant. The huge volume of gas keeps the planet pretty close to the same temperature all the time.
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.
Does Uranus have seasons if so then describe them?
Uranus doesn't have seasons.
What causes Uranus extreame seasons?
What causes Uranus extreme seasons is it's rotational axis
Is Saturn and Mars and earth are the only ones with seasons?
No, any planet with an axial tilt will have seasons, for instance Uranus has seasons.
Which planet has the longest seasons?
Uranus has the longest seasons among the planets in our solar system. Its axis of rotation is tilted at a steep angle, causing each pole to experience about 42 years of continuous sunlight followed by 42 years of darkness. This results in seasons lasting for several decades on Uranus.
Does Uranus have strong seasons or permanently cold poles?
yes it dose.
Which planet has a tilted axis so that the planet has seasons?
Uranus and Pluto have a tilt and have extreme seasons. Mars, Saturn, and Neptune have seasons that are similar to ours.
Do any of the outer planets have seasons?
Yes.They have winter ,summers etc. The seasons of Uranus lasts for 20 years because of its TILT.
What planet revolves on its side?
Uranus is the planet that revolves on its side, with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This unique tilt causes extreme seasons and unusual magnetic field behavior on Uranus.
What planet has seasons that last 20 years?
Uranus has seasons that last approximately 20 years due to its extreme axial tilt of about 98 degrees. This tilt causes the planet to experience long periods of sunlight and darkness as it orbits the sun.
How does the axial tilt of Uranus affect the seasons?
