Uranus has seasons because its axis is tilted by about 98 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun. This extreme tilt causes different parts of the planet to receive varying amounts of sunlight as it orbits, resulting in distinct seasonal changes.
How is Pluto affecting the orbits of uranus and neptune?
Pluto is a very warm planet so since they are both in space plutos heat melts parts of neptune then neptune uses the melted rock and makes new forms
What is the maximum and minimum surface temperature of each planets?
All planets have very different temperatures at the surface.
Mercury's Maximum Temperature 465°C (870°F)
Mercury's Minimum Temperature -184°C (-300°F)
Venus' Average Temperature 449°C (850°F)
Earth's Average Temperature 7.2°C (45°F)
Mars's Maximum Temperature 36°C (98°F)
Mars's Minimum Temperature -123°C (-190°F)

Neptune's Average Temperature -223°C (-370°F)
How much less would you weigh on Uranus than earth?
Weight is based on the gravitational force of the planet.
On Uranus you would weigh only about 89% of the weight on earth.
This despite Uranus having a mass which is 14% larger than earth, the gravity is is less because it is not a very dense planet.
At 89%, you would feel a little lighter, but probably not enough to be noticed.
What is the distance of Uranus?
Depending on their orbital locations, Uranus will be between 2.59 and 3.16 billion kilometers from Earth.
--- The average distance from the Sun for Uranus is 2,876,679,082 kilometers
--- The average distance from the Sun for Earth is 149,597,887 kilometers.
The average distance between the two is NOT the difference of 2,727,081,195 kilometers, but rather more closely approximated as the hypotenuse of a right triangle, or 2.88 billion km. The reason is that half of the time Earth and Uranus are on oppositesides of the Sun from each other, where the distance between them is maximized. Only about once a year are both planets "lined up" on the same side of the sun where the distance is minimized.
Would gravity squash the person on Uranus?
No. While Uranus has a greater mass than Earth it also has a grater radius and gravity decreases with greater distance from an object's center. In the case of Uranus, it works out that surface gravity is about 89% of what it is on Earth, so you would actually be a little bit lighter.
What is Uranus' position in space?
The axis of the planet Uranus is tipped. The poles are on the sides of the planet instead of the top and bottom. This makes it spin sideways compared to the other planets in our system.
What are two important facts about the moons of Uranus'?
its 27 of them all together and the moons are smaller than uranus
Uranus is a pale blue color due to the presence of methane gas in its atmosphere. This methane absorbs red light from the sun, reflecting the blue-green hues that we see from Earth.
Uranus (Ouranos in Greek) was the son or husband of Gaia (Earth), and father of Kronos (Time) and the Titans. According to legend, Uranus imprisoned his children as he was afraid that they would rebel against him. Kronos, who was one of the Titans, with the help of Gaea, castrated him, which effectively took away his powers. From the blood of Uranus that fell on Earth sprang the three Furies- the goddesses of revenge. According to another ancient legend, Venus was born of the discarded flesh of Uranus and of the foaming sea.
How does Uranus rate terms of the other planets in terms of size?
Uranus is the 3rd to largest planet.
How hot has Uranus ever gotten?
Because it is so far from the Sun, more than 19 times Earth's distance, it is very, very cold.
Temperature varies from 49oK (-224oC, -371oF) to 760K (-197oC, -323oF)
Cold enough that the gases that make up Earth's air (Nitrogen, Oxygen) would liquefy and rain out.
What sent images of Uranus back to earth?
The only images of the surface of Venus were taken by the Soviet Venera probes, the ones built to survive the intense heat and pressure. The atmospheric pressure is equal to sitting a kilometer under the surface of the ocean, and the temperature is like an incinerator (700-800 degrees). Also, the atmosphere is corrosive: the clouds are composed mainly of sulfuric acid.
The NASA probes on the Venus Express mission also penetrated the atmosphere but did not provide any images. The Venus Express orbiter, as well as the Magellanorbiter, provided detailed radar images of the planet.
Allah says in the Holy Qur'an: In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful: Say, "He, Allah, is One. "Allah is the Eternal. "He has neither parent nor progeny "And nothing else is similar to Him." Because Allah is nothing like any thing He has created, and because so many times in human history, images of prophets and leaders have become objects of veneration and even of worship, Islam prohibits making pictures or likenesses of Allah. ("Allah", which means, literally, "the God," is the Arabic name for the One, True, God, used by Arabic-speaking Muslims, Christians, and Jews, alike.)
It is 17.18 Astronomical Units from Uranus to Neptune.
One AU equals approximately 93,000,000 miles (92.95580727 million miles)
So 17.18 AU equals 1.57 billion miles.
17.18 A.U.'s
How much potential energy does Uranus have?
So, energy is everywhere, to where you move, to the suns rays, and to gases and atoms. Think. The gases in Uranus can be used to create energy by burning it, etc. You can also produce energy from the sun's rays. (Light energy)
Why are Uranus and Neptune not as large as Jupiter or Saturn?
Uranus and Neptune are not as big as Jupiter and Saturn because in the beginning of the creation of the solar system, there was a big explosion and rocks formed the interior planets and the remaining gas OUTSIDE of the solar system formed the gas and the gas closer to the sun was much greater than the outside. so what i mean is the gas in one section closer to ther sun made Jupiter and the other section didnt have as much gas as the first one, made Saturn. while the other section made uranus and neptune at the same time. which gives different amounts of mass and quantity of each one in the solar system. hope this helps
How old is the planet Mercury?
It is believed that all of the planets, from Mercury to Neptune, formed around the same time, about 4.95 billion years ago.
Presumably, Mercury is of similar age to Earth.
The only way to be sure, of course, would be to land on the surface and use radioisotope dating to determine the age of the rock. Such a mission is not planned and probably will not be undertaken in the next 25 years.
it is40000000,56780 years old!
What is Uranus' minimum and maximum temperature?
Ave/max temperature: -200°C
Minimum temperature: -214°C
How long has Uranus been observered?
Jupiter formed at the same time as the rest of our solar system, about 4.6 billion years ago.
How are Saturn's bands different form Jupiter's?
Saturn's bands are more subtle, with less contrast and variation in color compared to Jupiter's. Saturn's bands are also wider and less pronounced than Jupiter's distinct, dark belts and light zones. Additionally, Saturn's rings overshadow its bands in visibility and recognition.
What gasses make up the suns atmosphere?
'Atmos' means 'moist', and refers to the ability of air to carry humidity. There is hence no atmosphere on the sun. People who do not know what 'atmosphere' means may sometimes erroneously use that word to describe the photosphere or corona.
What are life forms for Uranus?
To date there has been no proof of life in this solar system, including all of its planets except for our planet; at least life of the type that we recognize. It should also be noted that Uranus is a gas giant type planet which lowers the chances of any form of life as we know it.
Is Uranus the only planet that rotates on its side?
Uranus , the seventh planet from our sun and the first planet discovered with a telescope, revolves around the sun once every 84 Earth years. The rotational period of the interior of Uranus is 17 hours, 14 minutes. As on all giant planets, its upper atmosphere experiences very strong winds in the direction of rotation. Visible features of the atmosphere (winds) move much faster, making a full rotation in as little as 14 hours.
An intresting fact about Uranus is that it has the coldest atmosphere in the Solar System, with a minimum temperature of 49 K (-224 C °). Uranus's internal heat is substantially lower than that of the other giant planets; in astronomical terms, it has a low thermal flux. Why Uranus's internal temperature is so low is still not understood. One of the hypotheses for this discrepancy is that Uranus was hit by a massive entity, the nature of which is unknown. This seems to indicate that this planet experienced a personal Big Bang, in addition to the primary one that marked the beginning of the universe.
In December 2005, the Hubble telescope detected a pair of previously unknown rings. The largest is located at twice the distance from the planet of the previously known rings. These new rings are so far from the planet that they are called the "outer" ring system. Hubble also spotted two small satellites, one of which, Mab, shares its orbit with the outermost newly discovered ring. The new rings bring the total number of Uranian rings to 13.
Another interesting fact is that Uranus is the only planet named after a Roman god, rather than a Greek like the other planets.
