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.

How many hours in day at uranus?

One day on Uranus is equivalent to about 17.24 Earth hours. Uranus rotates on its axis at a different speed compared to Earth, leading to longer days on that planet.

Are Neptune and Uranus brothers?

As planets, Neptune and Uranus are not considered siblings. However, in a mythological context, both planets are named after Roman gods, who were indeed brothers. Neptune is the Roman god of the sea, while Uranus is the Roman god of the sky.

Who is the Uranus founder?

The discoverer of Uranus is William Herschell which named Uranus Georgium Sidius in honor of his king King George III then a German astronomer named it Uranus.

Yes it does sound like William Hershey

NO I AM NOT A NERD CUZ I WROTE THIS IT WAS A QUESTION FOR MY SCIENCE PROJECT

HAHAHAHAH

YOUR WELCOME I'LL BE HAPPY IF YOU SEND MONEY TO MY HOUSE HERE'S MY ADRESS ********************************************** ************* *********************** there ya go ( DO NOT send money )

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.

How is Uranus similar to other planets?

The only thing that Uranus and Earth likely have in common is that they orbit the barycenter of the Solar System in roughly-circular elliptical paths. In other respects, they could hardly be more different. Earth has a metallic core, a molten rock mantle, a thin solid crust largely covered with a thin layer of liquid water (frozen at the poles), and a 100-mile-deep atmosphere of mainly nitrogen and oxygen. It is located in a warm region relatively close to the Sun. Uranus has a molten rocky core smaller than the Earth and similar to the Earth's mantle; overlaid by a 12000-mile-deep ice mantle of hot dense ammonia, water, methane and sulfur compounds; and a 3000-mile-deep frigid atmosphere of mainly hydrogen and helium. At no point is there a solid surface. It receives very little solar energy. In case you are thinking that "ice" and "hot" in the same sentence might be a typo, be aware that the hot ammonia/water mantle at a temperature of several thousand degrees is indeed a slushy ice due to the tremendous pressure and density created by the 12-thousand mile depth of the ice mantle.

Who is Uranus in Roman mythology?

In Roman mythology, Uranus was known as Caelus. He was the personification of the sky, and was considered a primordial deity. Uranus was believed to be the husband and progenitor of Gaia, the Earth goddess, and together they were the parents of the Titans.

What is the scientific name for Uranus?

It has no scientific name. It was named Pluto and that was that.

How do scientist believe Uranus got turned on its side?

Uranus possibly got turned on its side by two collisions from the kuiper belt being flung towards the sun. Of course no one knows exactly what happened, but whatever did happen was when the solar system was still forming, because it now has many moons possibly from the collision

What is uranus's orbit shape?

Uranus orbits the Sun in an almost perfect circle, although it is slightly elliptical. Its orbit is tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees compared to the plane of the Solar System, making it unique among the planets.

What is the size of the moon Miranda?

The moon Miranda is the 5th-largest moon of the planet Uranus. It is about 470 km in diameter.

Its volume is about 54 million cubic kilometers (1/400th of Earth's Moon), and its mass is about 6.6 x 10^19 kg (1/1000 of Earth's Moon).

What is the length of a year in Uranus in earth days?

It would be about 84.32 years of comparison. So that would mean 16.2 of the days will be 36 months.

Which Uranus moon has V-shaped grooves over one third of its surface?

The Uranus moon with V-shaped grooves covering over one third of its surface is Miranda. These grooves are believed to be caused by tectonic processes on the moon's surface.

Does uranus have any forms of water?

Yes, Uranus has water in the form of icy compounds in its atmosphere and possibly in its interior. These compounds consist of water, ammonia, and methane. However, it is not in liquid form like water on Earth due to the extreme cold temperatures on Uranus.

How heavy would you be on Uranus if you weighed 90 pounds on Earth?

Estimates of gravity on Uranus range from 86% to 91% of Earth's gravity. Therefore, using 89%, if you weighed 90 lbs on Earth, you would weigh about 80 lbs on Uranus.
