What is the distance of earth and Uranus?
The distance from Earth to the Sun is 93 million miles. Uranus has a mean distance of 1.78 Billion miles from the Sun. So the mean distance from Eath to Uranus is (1.78 billion miles - 93 million miles) = 1.687 Billion miles
Is neptunes atmosphere thick or thin?
Neptune's atmosphere is thick, composed mainly of hydrogen, helium, and methane gases. It has a complex layering structure with high winds and storm systems, including the Great Dark Spot and other large anticyclonic storms.
Why does Mercury's temperature range from 400 degress Celsius to -180 degrees Celsius?
because its close to the sun! Actually, the answer is a bit more complex. Mercury's temperature gets so hot (up to 427 ºC) because it is closer to the Sun than Earth, but also because there is very little atmosphere to insulate Mercury's surface from the Sun's radiation (heat traveling through empty space). Therefore the side of Mercury facing the sun gets very hot.
You can understand radiation a little better if you think about how you can still feel the heat of direct sunlight on a day when the air is cold. The Sun's heat energy can travel through space without significantly heating up the sparse molecules of air it's traveling though. But why does Mercury's surface also get very cold? To understand this we need to go back to the concept of insulation. An insulator traps heat energy because heat does not pass easily through an insulator. Think of thick blanket on a cold day. The blanket doesn't make your feet warm, but it keeps the heat energy from your body from escaping. As your body warms up the blanket, your feet stop being cold. Insulators can also keep heat out. A planet's atmosphere is the layer of gasses that surrounds it. When you feel the wind, see a cloud, or take a deep breath of air-that's our atmosphere! The atmosphere acts like an insulator. When the Sun is beating down the air warms up a little, reflects away a little of the sun's heat, but also allows some of the sun's heat to hit the surface of our planet. Because the atmosphere reflects away some of the Sun's energy, the Earth does not get too hot during the day. But the atmosphere also traps some of the Sun's energy keeping the Earth warmer at night. Some of the heat that the land, roads and buildings absorbed during daylight hours is reflected back onto Earth by the atmosphere acting like a blanket. Because Mercury does not have a think atmosphere blanket to keep it warm at night, the side of Mercury facing away from the sun can get very, very cold. (-183 ºC)
So next time you're really hot on a sunny Summer day, or really cold on a blustery Winter evening, think about how extremely cold and hot Mercury can get and remember to thank our atmosphere for keeping the temperatures on Earth closer to pleasant.
What information was collected when Voyager 2 landed on Uranus?
Voyager 2 did not land on Uranus; it conducted a flyby of the planet on January 24, 1986. During the flyby, Voyager 2 collected valuable data on Uranus's atmosphere, rings, and moons. This data helped scientists better understand the composition, structure, and dynamics of Uranus and its surrounding environment.
Is Neptune's atmosphere thick or thin?
Neptune's atmosphere is thick compared to Earth's atmosphere, composed mostly of hydrogen and helium with traces of methane. The high pressure in Neptune's atmosphere causes gases to compress into liquid and solid forms in its lower layers.
What is the distance from Uranus to the Earth?
The distannce from Earth to Uranus is:19.2 miles x earths distancewhich is 1,747,200,000
What are the surface conditions on Pluto?
Temperatures are around -375 F. The day is equal to about 6 Earth days. During the day, the sun appears to be only a really bright star and you can see other stars in the sky. The atmosphere is mostly composed of methane and the surface is rock and ice. The orbit of Pluto is oddly ellongated, almost like a comets trail and rotates in the wrong direction. It varies from being closer to the sun than Neptune and deep into the Keiper belt. This planet would be completely uninhabitable. Pluto is in the inner edges of the Keiper belt and is considered a dwarf planet by most astronomers. After the Keiper belt, our solar system ends. (but not our galaxy, the galaxy has 100's of other solar systems) Hope this helps! -Meg
Why would you go to a chiropractor?
Doctors of chiropractic diagnose, treat and help prevent conditions and disorders related to the back, neck, pelvis, extremity joints and the effect they have on the nervous system.
People see chiropractors for a number of reasons, including:
-Back pain
-Neck pain
-Headaches
-Whiplash & auto accident injuries
-Strains & Sprains
-Repetitive Strain Injuries (carpal tunnel syndrome)
-Arthritis
-Work or sports injuries
-Limited range of motion in the back, shoulder, neck or limbs
-General health and wellbeing (exercise and/or dietary advice, etc.)
Does Uranus have a tilted axis?
Yes, Uranus has a tilted axis that is nearly perpendicular to its orbital plane. This axial tilt is around 98 degrees, causing extreme seasonal variations on the planet.
What is the average surface temperature of Mars?
-81 degrees. The average temperature on Mars is -61°C. The temperature will vary though depending on the latitude, just like it does on Earth.
Uranus has a complicated ring system.
It has 13 distinct rings but many more narrower and less pronounced. Uranus rings are made of rocks
"All the gas giants in our solar system, including Neptune have rings. The rings of Neptune are made up of fairly small, very dark clumps of rock. Scientists believe that most of these clumps are about the size of a small car. There is also a large amount of dust in the rings. One of the rings has a twist in it."
Do Baptists have something similar to confirmation?
Baptists do not typically have a sacrament similar to confirmation as seen in some other Christian traditions. Instead, Baptists often have a profession of faith or believers' baptism as a public declaration of one's faith and commitment to Christ.
No! You can not live on there because there are to much gasses and it's too poisonous to humans! It is also it very cold!
no they can not live on uranus
Humans cannot live on Uranus due to extreme cold and harmful gases. Additionally, Uranus does not have a surface to stand on.
No, you couldn't live there. It's too cold, and there's no oxygen to breathe. Also, there's no solid surface to stand on.
How many kilometers equal 1 meter?
Kilo means 1000, so a kilometer = 1000 meters. Therefore, 1 meter = 0.001 km.
A condition found in the region around a magnet or an electric current, characterized by the existence of a detectable magnetic force at every point in the region and by the existence of magnetic poles.

Some good ice breakers include asking about someone's hobbies, commenting on a shared experience, or asking for advice or recommendations on something. It's also helpful to use open-ended questions to encourage conversation. And don't forget to smile and be approachable!
How big is the planet Mercury?
Mercury is the second smallest planet; only Pluto is smaller. Mercury's diameter is 4879 km, while Earth's is 12,756 km. In fact, Mercury is not much larger than our Moon, which has a diameter of 3475 km.

What planet is named after a Greek god?
None, or possibly one. Six planets, and dwarf planet Pluto, are named after Roman gods.

Greek Hestia, Vesta in Roman: Goddess of the Hearth and Home; also Fertility(Greek only)
What is the average temperature of Neptune?
The average temperature of Neptune is around -214 degrees Celsius (-353 degrees Fahrenheit). This extreme cold is due to Neptune's distance from the Sun and its thick atmosphere of hydrogen, helium, and methane gas, which trap heat and create a frigid environment.
A plane typically smells like a combination of cleaning products, recycled air, and the materials used in the aircraft's construction. The smell can vary depending on the airline, aircraft type, and how well the plane is maintained.
What is the temperature range of the planet Uranus?
The temperature range on Uranus is typically between -224 to -370 degrees Celsius (-371 to -694 degrees Fahrenheit) in its outer atmosphere. The colder temperatures are due to the planet's distance from the Sun and its lack of internal heat sources.
How long does it take for Pluto to orbit around the sun?
Technically Pluto will never be in the eighth planet position again because it is no longer classified as a planet. However, Pluto is closer to the Sun than Neptune starting every 228 years. The duration of this position lasts roughly 20 years.
How many kilometers are there in 7872 miles?
There are 1.609344 kilometres in one mile. Therefore, 7872 miles is equal to 7872 x 1.609344 = 12668.755968 kilometres.
