Can trees survive on Uranus?

No, trees cannot survive on Uranus. The extreme cold temperatures, lack of sunlight, and toxic atmosphere make it impossible for trees or any known terrestrial life forms to exist on the planet. Uranus is a gas giant with no solid surface for trees to take root in.

Is Uranus a gas or a terrestrial planet?

Uranus is a gas planet, consisting mostly of hydrogen and helium with a small rocky core. It belongs to the category of ice giants, along with Neptune.

How long does it take the Miranda to orbit Uranus?

It is important to know the distance between objects in space. The kilometer distance between Miranda and Uranus is 147,000 kilometers.

How many Earths can fit across Uranus?

Approximately 4 Earths would equal the diameter of Uranus

What is Uranus length of rotation in earth years?

Uranus takes about 17 Earth hours to complete one rotation on its axis.

What is the reason for the planets temperatures?

The reasons for the plants temperatures are because the farther they are from the sun the colder they get. Since the sun is the only nearby energy source. Also, as energy travels, it transfers energy to the environment. It is the same principle as if you shoot a bullet. If the bullet did not deliver energy to the enviroment, it would never loose propulsion, and thus travel indefinatly. The longer the planet is from the sun, the less energy is transfered to the planets mass.

How many holes does Uranus have?

The planet Uranus would have no holes. Uranus's composition is around 83% hydrogen, 15% helium and 2% methane. These are all gases and Uranus is basically a giant atmosphere. Therefore, without a surface, Uranus wouldn't have any holes.

How long would it take to get to Uranus on a tricycle?

At a conservative speed of 3 mph (5 kph), it would take between 500 and 600 million hours.

(The distance is 2.6 to 3.1 billion km)

That works out to 57,000 years, if the tires hold out.

Where did William Herschel go to college?

English musician and astronomer. Initially a regimental oboist and violinist, he settled in England in the 1750s and was active in Durham, Newcastle, Leeds, Halifax and (from 1766) Bath; he was a prominent concert director and teacher and played the violin and organ. From the 1770s he concentrated increasingly on astronomy (he discovered Uranus in 1781). He composed 24 symphonies, concertos and chamber works, organ music, many anthems etc and other vocal works. Much of his instrumental music shows north German influences, but his later concertos and accompanied keyboard sonatas (written in the 1760s) use the italianate galantstyle popularized by J. C. Bach. Several members of his family were musicians.

Does the planet Uranus have any nick names?

Actually, it does. When one of NASA's probes sent pictures back of rings around the planet, news anchorpeople came up with a new pronunciation of the planet's name.

They called it "Yerinus", admittedly doing that so as to avoid having to say, "Today, scientist's discovered rings around Uranus." (pronounced correctly, it sounds like "your anus".)

"Yerinus" - which sounds much like "urine" - was actually little better, and as soon as the news story was dropped, the regular pronunciation continued.

What is the motion of Uranus?

Uranus orbits the Sun in an elliptical path, characterized by both orbital and rotational motion. Its axis of rotation is tilted on its side, causing it to appear to roll along its orbit rather than spin like most other planets. This unique motion gives Uranus extreme seasonal changes and a peculiar magnetic field.

How long is the rotaion time for Uranus?

The rotation time for Uranus is about 17 hours and 14 minutes. Uranus rotates on its axis from east to west, which is opposite to most other planets in our solar system.

If someone weigh 100 lbs on Earth then how much e equals would theyweigh on Uranus?

If someone weighs 100 lbs on Earth, they would weigh about 89 lbs on Uranus. This is because Uranus has a smaller gravitational pull compared to Earth.

How many years does it take to travel to Uranus by Car?

It is not possible to travel to Uranus by car as it is a gas giant planet located in our solar system, approximately 1.6 billion miles away from Earth. The distance and inhospitable conditions make it impossible for a car to travel there.

How long does it take to travel to Uranus by Car?

Traveling to Uranus by car is not possible. Uranus is a planet in our solar system, and the distances involved are far beyond what any car could travel. It would take years, even with advanced spacecraft, to reach Uranus.

Why is there no water on Uranus?

Well for one the planet has a HUGE gravity tug compared to earth crushing the life there,the planet has lots of methane making the thriving life choke to death, the place has no land, there is almost no water and oxygen, and the place would freeze us to death.

What did William Herschel build?

He built a telescope. Read about it. It is interesting.

Determine whether you are accelerating as earth rotates once every 24 hours?

Yes. Since the direction of the movement changes, that means there is an acceleration. Remember, acceleration is a change in velocity; velocity includes both a magnitude and a direction.

Why was uranium was named after Uranus?

Uranium was named after the planet Uranus, which was discovered in 1781. Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun, was named after the ancient Greek god of the sky. The element uranium was named in reference to the newly discovered planet to honor this tradition in astronomy.

Is venus bigger than Uranus?

No, Venus is smaller than Uranus. Venus is about the same size as Earth, while Uranus is significantly larger in diameter and mass compared to both Venus and Earth.

Does Uranus have more rings than any other planet?

Uranus has 13 rings.

Saturn also has 13 rings.

So that means Uranus does not.

(I think....)

How old would a 10 year old be on Uranus?

A 10 year old would be 10 earth years old or `0.12 Uranian` years of age. Uranus takes 84 years to orbit once around our sun. An 84 year old on Earth is a one Uranian year old.

How can you see Uranus' rings?

One BIG telescope. The rings of Uranus are very faint and that far from the Sun there isn't a whole lot of light. The easiest way may be by going to the Hubble Space Telescope web site at hubblesite.org.
