Planet 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.

Uranus is the 3rd to largest planet.

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.

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

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)

No

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

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!

Ave/max temperature: -200°C

Minimum temperature: -214°C

Jupiter formed at the same time as the rest of our solar system, about 4.6 billion years ago.

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.

'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.

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.

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.

Because of the strange way it spins, nights on some parts of Uranus can last for more than 40 years. The planet's most extraordinary feature is the tilt of its rotational axis, which is almost perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, which means that it alternately has its north pole and its south pole turned towards the sun.

Uranus was the father of many mythical figures.

He was the father of the twelve Titans.

However, he was also the father of two races of giants: the Hecatonchires (who had 100 arms) and the Cyclops (who had 1 eye). There is no exact number given in the myths.

After he was castrated by Cronus (a Titan), his blood gave life to another race of giants (the Gigantes) and the three Furies.

His castrated genitals mixed with the water of the ocean and created Aphrodite.

So the easy answer is 12, and the more complicated answer is "lots."

Planet Uranus has a surface area of 3.121 billion sq miles (8.083 billion km²).

All of the planets are moving, so they are not always visible in the same places. Sometimes, like when they are on the opposite side of the sun to us, they cannot be seen at all. Uranus is far away, so to see it you would need a telescope. There are lots of websites that will tell you when you can see the planets and where you can see different planets at different times. Try the related link below for one such website.

No, mostly CH4

It depends upon the speed of travel. The fastest current spacecraft (in 2012) would take about 5 years to travel there directly, provided Uranus was at its closest distance to Earth (the distance can vary from about 2.6 billion kilometers to 3.1 billion kilometers).

Sir Frederick William Herschel (15 November 1738 - 25 August 1822) was a German-born British astronomer, technical expert, and composer. Herschel became most famous for the discovery of Uranus in addition to two of its major moons, Titania and Oberon. He also discovered two moons of Saturn and infrared radiation.
