There are two main reasons why it orbits so slowly. 1. It is the only planet in the Solar system to orbit the Sun in an anti-clockwise direction. 2. It is very far away from the sun and does not travel very fast.

Do Neptune and Uranus cross paths?

Neptune's orbit and Uranus' orbit are never meeting, but Pluto and Neptune do have their orbits cross. :)


How long does it take for uranus so go around the sun?

It takes Uranus approximately 84 Earth years to orbit the sun once.


How close does uranus get to the sun in its orbit?

Uranus is approximately 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers) away from the Sun at its closest point in its orbit, which is known as perihelion. This distance is about 20 times the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, so Uranus never comes very close to the Sun compared to other planets in our solar system.


What planet orbits around the sun on one side?

Uranus is the planet that orbits the sun on its side!!!


How is uranus different than the other planets?

It orbits the sun on its side and so appears to be rolling along its orbit.


How much is Pluto distance from the sun?

This question is impossible to answer but takes roughly 279 years to orbit it. Pluto's orbit is irregular so it never is in a circle so it cant be measured sometimes it is closer to the sun than Uranus!!


What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?

In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.


What planet lies before Neptune?

In the traditional diagram of the Solar System Uranus is before Neptune. In reality, the planets are not in a line but at different points around the Sun as they orbit it, so it is the path of Uranus's orbit that lies before Neptune.


Does Uranus collide with the sun?

five hundred and sixty eight


Which planet has a rotational axis that is tilted so much that it lies nearly in the plane of its orbit?

Uranus has a rotational axis that is tilted so much that it lies nearly in the plane of its orbit. This unique tilt of about 98 degrees gives Uranus its distinct seasonal variations and causes it to essentially roll on its side as it orbits the Sun.


A year on Uranus equal to how many earth years?

It takes 84.01 earth years for Uranus to go around the sun once.


How long is the orbit of Uranus in days?

For our planet [earth] it takes exactly 365.25 days to completely orbit around the sun and if you do the math the reason we have leap years is because the .25 extra days eventually add up to 1 every 4 years. Just in case you were wondering
