Uranus is the third largest planet in size, but fourth in mass (Neptune being more dense), with mass equivalent to 14.5 times that of Earth. Although "weight" implies a gravitic measurement, Uranus has an approximate mass of 8.7 x 1025 kg or 80 sextillion (80 billion trillion) tonnes.
What is the dark spot on Uranus?
The dark spot on Uranus is a large storm system known as the "dark vortex." It is similar to a hurricane on Earth, characterized by high-speed winds and a lower temperature compared to its surroundings. Dark spots like this can form periodically on Uranus due to its unique rotation and atmospheric dynamics.
How many satelittes does Uranus have?
Uranus has 27 natural moons identified so far, the first two Oberon and Titania discovered by Herschel in 1787 just a few years after he discovered the planet itself; with other moons discovered subsequently by observations from earth-based telescopes and the Voyager-2 flyby.
there are 27 moons.Among its largest moons are titania,oberon,umbriel,ariel,and miranda
Uranus has 27 known natural satellites. The names for these satellites are chosen from characters from the works of Shakespeare and Alexander Pope. The five main satellites are Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon.
27.
Plaents further away from the sun than Uranus?
Neptune and Pluto are the only planets in our solar system that are further away from the sun than Uranus. Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun, while Pluto, although now classified as a dwarf planet, has a highly elliptical orbit that takes it even farther from the sun than Neptune at certain points in its orbit.
Uranus was first discovered by the German-born British astronomer William Herschel in 1781. Herschel is credited with being the first person to document the presence of Uranus in our solar system.
Are there any celestial bodys around Uranus?
Yes, Uranus has a system of 13 known moons which orbit the planet. The largest moons are named Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. Additionally, there are numerous smaller moons and rings around Uranus.
How far away is Neptune from Uranus?
i want the anwser
Comment: Unfortunately there isn't an exact answer. These planets orbit the Sun at different speeds and the distance between them is always changing.
How long is a season on uranus?
Uranus is similar to Earth in that it has four seasons. However, it takes Uranus 84 years to orbit the sun versus 365 days for the Earth making each season 21 years long.
Uranus has an average density of about 1.27 grams per cubic centimeter, which is lower than Earth's density. This low density suggests that Uranus is predominantly composed of ices such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with a small rocky core.
What planet is almost the same size as Uranus?
Neptune is almost the same size as Uranus. Both planets are similar in diameter, mass, and composition.
Is Uranus the last planet discovered?
Technically, yes.
But, just a few years ago, scientists discovered a red, round, sphere-shaped hunk of rock that scientists believe may be a ninth planet(well, tenth planet if you count Pluto).
It is still unclear if it really is another planet or not.
No, Uranus is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium with no solid surface for people to stand on. It has extreme temperatures, high winds, and a lack of solid ground, making it inhospitable for human habitation.
Uranus is a gas giant planet and its size is typically measured in terms of its diameter, which is about 31,518 miles (50,724 kilometers). Converting this to inches, Uranus has a diameter of approximately 1,979,904,000 inches.
How fast does Uranus move does it move fast or slow?
Uranus moves at an average speed of about 6.8 kilometers per second (4.2 miles per second) in its orbit around the Sun. Compared to other planets in our solar system, Uranus moves at a moderate speed, slower than Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars but faster than Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune.
How long does it take for Uranus to complete one rotation around the sun?
Uranus (which, unlike other planets in our solar system, spins on its side) completes a rotation on its axis (day) in about 17 hours 14 minutes.
Is it true that there is a ring around Uranus?
Yes Uranus has a rings. Its rings are special because they wobble. You can not see them from a telescope,
Does Uranus have bright or dim sunlight?
Venus is brighter than any other object in space exept for the moon and sun.
Venus's apparent magnitude ranges from -4.6 to -3.8, while the moon ranges from -2.5 to -12.9, while the Sun is -26.74. (The more negative, the brighter.)
Is Neptune before or after Uranus?
Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun, and Neptune is the eighth.
What is the low temperature of Uranus?
That depends on where you are on Uranus. The "surface" of a gas planet is defined as the area where the atmospheric pressure is 100kPa, which is pretty much the atmsopheric pressure at sea level on earth. The area above that is called its "atmosphere." The atmospheric temperatures range from -224°C to -216°C. The average surface temperature is -197°C.
Can you see earth from Uranus?
Yes, and without a telescope. But with a telescope, you can easily make it out seeing a blue ball about the size of the Esc key on a laptop.
The blueish color of Uranus is from the presence of Methane in its upper atmosphere. Also, it is blue - green from the methane in the core of Uranus.
What is Uranus atmospheric conditions?
Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune, and both have different compositions from those of the larger gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. As such, astronomers sometimes place them in a separate category, the "ice giants". Uranus's atmosphere, while similar to Jupiter's and Saturn's in being composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, contains a higher proportion of "ices" such as water, ammonia and methane, along with traces of hydrocarbons.[12] It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System, with a minimum temperature of 49 K (−224 °C). It has a complex, layered cloud structure, with water thought to make up the lowest clouds, and methane thought to make up the uppermost layer of clouds.[12] In contrast the interior of Uranus is mainly composed of ices and rock.[11]
Like the other giant planets, Uranus has a ring system, a magnetosphere, and numerous moons. The Uranian system has a unique configuration among the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its revolution about the Sun. As such, its north and south poles lie where most other planets have their equators.[17] Seen from Earth, Uranus's rings can sometimes appear to circle the planet like an archery target and its moons revolve around it like the hands of a clock, though in 2007 and 2008 the rings appeared edge-on. In 1986, images from Voyager 2 showed Uranus as a virtually featureless planet in visible light without the cloud bands or storms associated with the other giants.[17] However, terrestrial observers have seen signs of seasonal change and increased weather activity in recent years as Uranus approached its equinox. The wind speeds on Uranus can reach 250 meters per second (900 km/h, 560 mph).[18]

How many satellites are there on the planet Uranus?
There are no satellites on the planet Uranus. As of 2014, Uranus has 27 known satellites, or moons. The five major moons are Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon.
Have any spaceships been sent to Uranus?
No, as of now, no spaceships have been sent to Uranus. The only spacecraft to have flown by Uranus is Voyager 2, which passed by the planet in 1986. There are no current missions planned to study Uranus up close.
