Is Mercury jovain?

Mercury is not a jovian planet because all planets after Jupiter and Jupiter are all jovian planets. So Jupiter, Saturn , Uranus , Neptune and the poor old Pluto that was booted from the planets are all jovian.

Can you walk on Uranus rings?

no, the rings of Saturn are made of ice and dust. we are way to dense and we will fall right through the rings, plus the ice particles are way too far away to jump on or anything. although that would be cool.

What are the names of the satellites of Uranus?

The planet Uranus has 27 known moons. All of them are named after Shakespeare characters. Some of them include Titania, Oberon, Ariel, Umbriel, Puck, Ophelia, Cordelia, Miranda, Desdemona, Juliet, Cressida, Bianca, Portia, and Cupid.

How many rings does each planet has?

There are no rings surrounding Earth. In fact, all inner planets of the Solar System do not possess rings.

Why is uranus gravity similar to earth?

Uranus' gravity is similar to Earth's because both planets have similar masses. Despite being much larger than Earth, Uranus' lower average density balances out the stronger gravitational force due to its size, resulting in similar surface gravity.

Is there an obvious point where the atmosphere ends and the surface begins on a gas giant?

Gas giants like Jupiter do not have a solid surface, so there is no clear boundary where the atmosphere ends and the surface begins. Instead, the gas giant's atmosphere becomes progressively denser as you move towards its core, gradually transitioning from gas to liquid under high pressures.

Why did it take so long to discover Uranus?

Uranus is faint and slow-moving, making it difficult to detect without telescopes or advanced equipment. Its distance from Earth also contributes to its discovery taking a longer time compared to planets closer to us. Additionally, its orbit is slow and irregular, further complicating its identification.

What is the gravity on venus mars uranus sedna and neptune compared to earth?

The gravity on Venus is about 91% of Earth's gravity, on Mars it is about 38%, on Uranus it is about 89%, on Sedna it is about 0.6%, and on Neptune it is about 114% of Earth's gravity.

Can you see Uranus without a telescope?

Theoretically it can be seen in perfect conditions with perfect eyesight, but most people would require binoculars to see Uranus. I saw it a few weeks ago, using 7 x 50 binoculars, near the star 60 piscium.

Why is Uranus the only planet tilted on its side?

This is not actually the case. All of the planets are tilted. Uranus just happens to be tilted more than any of the others. The Earth, for example is actually tilted 23.5 degrees from the vertical. Uranus is tilted 98 degrees from the vertical, making its north pole point towards the sun.

How is the orbital circumference of a planet determined?

The orbital circumference of a planet is determined by both the mass and size of a planet. Although a planet will orbit the sum in an eliptical sphere shaped orbit, the circumference of these are almost always relative to the mass and density of the planet. It is also determined on how far away it is from the sun. The orbital circumference of a planet is determined by both the mass and size of a planet.

How can you live in a volcano?

Living in a volcano is extremely dangerous and not recommended. The extreme heat, toxic gases, and potential for eruptions make it an inhospitable environment for humans. It is not a suitable place for permanent residence.

Have any space probes have been to Uranus?

No space probes have visited Uranus to date. The only spacecraft that has conducted a close flyby of Uranus was NASA's Voyager 2 probe in 1986. There are proposed missions in development that aim to send probes to Uranus in the future.

For a creature to survive on Uranus what would it need?

You would need to be able to float due to to the gasses you would fall through and die halfway through the planet. Because the plant is gas and ice you would have to be able to breathe in carbon dioxide or helium.

technically it would be impossible to live on Uranus.

How many miles wide is uranus?

Uranus is the third largest planet in the Solar System. The distance across Uranus is 31,518 miles, which is also 50,724 kilometers.

What is the night time temperature of Uranus?

Uranus has many different temperatures just like Earth. Uranus doesn't just have one temperature. But Uranus's average tempature is -95685 Celsius. It also has many planets that rotate around it like Neptune, Saturn and of coarse the sun. Uranus had 27 moons unlike Earth.

Does Venus have any ability to support life?

Answer:Maybe. No body's really sure if there's life on another planet. Some people say they seen aliens on another planet but I don't really believe in aliens. It's still possible that there are. The only planet we're sure with life is planet Earth. There also might be other living stuff that aren't aliens that we don't know! So the answer would be like maybe 'cause nobody knows.

How far is a killomiter?

A kilometer is 1,000 meters, and is also equal to .62 miles.

Do people still believe in Uranus the greek god?

Yes. There is a better way to ask that though, such as "Do people still believe in the Greek Gods?" The religion is called Hellenismos and has a small population. It is considered a Recreation of the religion.

Why is Uranus tilted on its side?

Uranus was knocked off its axis due to a collision with another large object passing through space . The object was nearly the size of uranus.
All planets have a tilted axis. The Gravity of the Sun and other planets force the tilt.

Wind speed of Uranus?

Uranus has extremely high wind speeds, reaching up to 560 miles per hour (900 kilometers per hour) in its upper atmosphere. These fast winds are due to the planet's unique orientation, with its axis tilted at nearly 90 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun, causing extreme weather patterns.

Why do Venus and Uranus turn differently on their axis?

Venus rotates clockwise on its axis (retrograde rotation) while Uranus rotates counterclockwise (prograde rotation) because of past collisions and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. The exact reasons for their unique rotational patterns are still not completely understood by scientists.

How much water is there on Uranus?

Uranus is considered an ice giant, so it likely contains a significant amount of water in various forms such as water ice, liquid water, and water vapor. However, the exact amount of water on Uranus is not currently known with certainty.

What would Uranus be like to visit?

Uranus is a called a Jovian Planet ( or a Giant Planet), like Neptune, Saturn, and

Jupiter. Uranus takes approximately 84 years to orbit the Sun. Uranus and Neptune

each have a mass about 15 times that of the earth and hence only 5% as great as

Jupiter. The giant planets atmospheres are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium

gas. On Uranus there is no oblivious cloud layer at all, but only a deep and featureless

haze. Unlike on Neptune where the upper clouds are made of methane. The most mass

on Uranus resides in it's core, demonstrating that the planet was unable to attract

massive quantities of Hydrogen and Helium when it was forming. Also there isn't a solid

surface on Uranus. There are drastic weather patterns on this planet, some of the

storms are bigger than our planet earth. So if you took a spaceship to Uranus you

would just go right through the planet because you would have no where to land and

if you ran into one of these monstrous storms you would definitely not return home.
