The heat in Uranus’ ocean is generated through a combination of gravitational forces and the decay of radioactive elements within its core. This heat contributes to the overall temperature of the planet and keeps its ocean in a liquid state.
What color are Uranus's moons?
Uranus's moons have a variety of colors, including shades of gray, red, and blue. Some of the moons have lighter surfaces, while others are darker due to a mix of rocky and icy materials. The colors are influenced by the composition and age of the moons.
If methane is colourless then why does it cause the blue colour on Uranus?
Nothing is totally colourless. Many people might consider water to be colourless however if you go scuba diving and go far enough down you will notice that red and yellows get absorbed far sooner than blues. Therefore water is actually a blue colour, it just that you need a LOT of it together in order to see the very slight difference in colour absorption that the substance has. The same is true for methane. In small volumes it is effectively colourless. In vast volumes, such as the atmosphere of a planet, its slightly different absorption spectrum dose make a difference.
Where is Uranus in the night sky?
It can't be seen at the moment from earth as it is on the opposite side of our solar system. It is where the sun is. Give it a few month though and we will be able to see it again as the earth progresses around the sun.
How long does it take Uranus to complete one orbit around the sun?
Uranus revolves around the Sun in 84 Earth years which is equal to 30,687 Earth days. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun, has 27 moons, (its largest moon is called Titania,) and has thin, dark rings.

What did William Hershel accomplish?
Herschel was the man who discovered Urine's, the seventh planet in the Solar system. This was the first addition to the list of planets known from antiquity. He established the usefullness of big telescopes with large aperture and high magnifying power in astronomical probes. More than half of the nebulae known today were first observed by Herschel. With his observations on star pairs, he proved that the laws of gravity hold good beyond the solar system as well. He suggested the existense oInfrared rays also
Uranus is orbited by 27 known natural satellites, with the largest ones being Titania, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel, and Miranda. These moons range in size and composition, with some showing unique surface features like canyons, crater fields, and icy plains. Additionally, Uranus has a system of narrow rings composed of dark particles and dust.
How many kilometers is Earth to Uranus?
Uranus is the 7th planet from the Sun and 4th from the Earth.
The distance between Uranus and the Earth variesdepending on Uranus' orbit around the Sun.
However, at it's closest point Uranus is 2.57 billion kmaway from Earth and at it's farthest point it is 3.15 billion km away.
How much would you weigh on Uranus if you weigh 120 pounds on earth?
If you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you would weigh 127.2 pounds on Saturn. Your weight on Saturn is 1.06 times more than on earth.
A person that weighs 120 pounds on Earth would weigh 127 pounds on Saturn. To find out how much a person would weigh on Saturn, simply multiply that person's weight by 1.066.
In ancient Greek mythology Uranus, or Ouranos, was married to Gaia, the Earth goddess.
Hou cold or warm is het on Uranus?
On Uranus, the temperature can drop as low as -224 degrees Celsius (-371 degrees Fahrenheit), making it one of the coldest planets in our solar system. This extreme cold is due to its distance from the Sun and its atmosphere, which is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium.
What planets have had people land on them?
The Earth is the only planet people have landed on. Humans have landed on Earth's Moon and have landed robotic probes on the surfaces of Mars, Venus, and Saturn's Largest moon Titan.
Scientists think diamonds may have formed under the high pressures deep inside Uranus. They think there may be an ocean of liquid diamond with solid
diamonds floating on it. Surprising!
It is only possible for the Sun to stay overhead at the poles and for the equator to receive little to no sunlight for years on end on Mars. This is due to the tilt of Mars' axis, which can cause extreme variations in sunlight exposure at different latitudes over long periods of time.
What would happen if magnesium got on Uranus then got a girlfriend?
It would be alot harder for a guy to bum you and you'd crap through your penis and your girlfriend would dump you !!
Does temperature of Uranus change rapidly?
The temperature on Uranus remains relatively constant, with variations being linked to its long seasons, which last about 21 Earth years. However, rapid changes in temperature are not common on Uranus due to its distance from the Sun.
What makes up most of the mass in Neptune and Uranus?
Neptune and Uranus are only about 15% hydrogen and helium.
Most of their mass comes from heavier gasses, such as methane, ammonia, and water.
As a result, Neptune and Uranus is much more dense than Jupiter.

What coulour is planet Uranus?
Uranus is a fairly light blue-green colour. mines pink dunno bout yours
Why does Mars have seasons twice as long as Earth's seasons?
Because Mars' average distance from the sun is about 1.5 times the earth's
average distance from the sun.
We've known for about 400 years now that the period of an orbit is completely
determined by the size and shape of the orbit. The size or mass of the orbiting
body have no effect on the period.
So ... farther from the sun, longer time to complete each orbit. It's as simple as that.
Here's the math:
For every planet in our solar system, the quantity
(time for one orbit)2 / (1/2 of the largest dimension across the orbit)3
is the same number.
How many earth years does it take to get to Uranus?
Using current technology, it would take a minimum of 3 years for a manned or unmanned mission to reach Uranus one-way. However, a manned mission would also require designing spacecraft systems that do not currently exist.
Why does Uranus have a tilt of 98 degrees?
Uranus likely experienced a collision with a massive object in the early solar system, causing it to be knocked on its side and creating its extreme axial tilt of 98 degrees. This collision likely occurred billions of years ago and is a unique feature that sets Uranus apart from the other planets in our solar system.
What planet did William herschel discover in 1781?
Herschel observed Uranus on March 13, 1781 and originally thought it to be a comet. It had been previously observed as a "star" by astronomers John Flamsteed and Pierre Lemonnier, and was finally classified as a planet in 1783. Until 1850, it was known by the name Georgium Sidus, after King George III.
What is the diameter of earth compared to Uranus?
The equatorial diameter of the planet Uranus is 51,118 km(31,763 miles). The equatorial diameter of the planet Earth is 12,576 km (7,926 miles).
Because of its thicker atmosphere, Uranus is therefore 4 times as wide as Earth, and its volume 63 times that of Earth. However, its much lower average density means that Uranus has only about 14 times Earth's mass.
