Planet Uranus

Scientist aren't sure yet but they have a theory that a huge comet or asteroid collided with the blue planet causing it to spin on its side.

The rotational period for Uranus varies. Since Uranus is a gaseous celestial object, the interior of Uranus rotates slower than it's poles. The interior of Uranus rotates once every 17 hours and 14 minutes. However, the very strong winds in the direction of rotation causes some latitudes, such as that of about two-thirds from the equator to the south pole, full rotation occurs in as little as 14 hours. As for the Orbital period of Uranus: once every 84 Earth years.

Uranus is the third-largest planet in the solar system, after Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus is about four times the diameter of the earth. Uranus is an ice giant, covered with clouds, and encircled by a belt of eleven rings and twenty-two moons.

i think there is snow on uranus but i dont know for sure

The Voyager 2, launched in 1977, flew past Uranus in 1986.

Uranus is a gas giant planet, and the coldest major planet in the solar system. The temperatures in the upper layers of its atmosphere (hydrogen and helium) are as low as 49° K (-224° C). The deeper levels include a mix of ammonia, methane and water, with a crushing pressure and temperatures of 5000 to 6500°K (about the same as the Earth's core). This is "cold" compared to the other gas giants, as Uranus seems to have lost much of its internal heat.

Earth, on the other hand, is warmed by the Sun, alternately heating and cooling as it rotates. Atmospheric currents keep the temperature range between -40° and +40° C (-40° to 104°F) for most of the planet, with extremes of -89° and +58°C (-128°F and 136°F).

it takes a lot of fuel it takes 99,000,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of fuel

Almost the same. A little bit younger due to time dilation. But the mass of a planet would have to be much larger to make a big difference

Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune, and both are of different chemical composition than 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 and Saturn's in its primary composition of hydrogen and helium, contains more "ices" such as water, ammonia and methane, along with traces of hydrocarbons. 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. In contrast the interior of Uranus is mainly composed of ices and rock

It would depend on where each planet was in its orbit. At a minimum, the two planets are about 1,633,310,000 km apart, and a maximum of 7,375,300,000 km apart.

At 1,000 km/hr, then, the minimum time would be 1,633,310 hours or 183 years. I'll let you do the math on the maximum time.

Roughly.

The existence of aliens has not been proved yet although many scientists believe them to be in existence. As far as Uranus is concerned, there are no aliens or life forms of any kind there.

A separate branch of research called SETI (Search For Extra Terrestrial Intelligence) has been established by NASA to study about aliens (if any) in deep space. There are many thoughts behind the topic. For e.g., one hypothesis may explain it saying if The Earth has life on it, some other planet may have life in it as the Universe is unimaginably big.

There are also the crop circles, UFOs and many such themes which make people believe that aliens do exist. Many people claim to have seen flying saucers or UFOs and most skeptics say that they are all psychological problems or lies. The question is still an unsolved mystery. Lets hope if SETI opens our eyes to the truth behind the dark!!

The atmosphere of Uranus is primarily composed of hydrogen (83%) and helium (15%), with trace amounts of methane and other hydrocarbons. Venus has a thick atmosphere made up of carbon dioxide (96.5%) and nitrogen (3.5%), with small amounts of other gases such as sulfur dioxide and water vapor. Both planets have different atmospheric compositions due to variations in their distance from the Sun and geological processes.

Saturn's surface has not been proven to be smooth. One of Saturn's moons have been confirmed to be smooth and mirror like though.

No, of course not. But astronomers are searching for alien life in Mars.

Uranus is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. It has a pale blue color due to the presence of methane in its atmosphere. The planet also has a system of narrow rings and a tilted rotational axis that causes extreme seasons.

"Ge" of Gaea means "Earth"; it holds the same for "De".

As in Demeter (Earth Mother).

Gravity(g) is a function of a planets mass(m) and how big it is or radius(r) squared

g=m/r2

The mass of Uranus is 14 times greater than Earth, but it's radius is 4 times greater than Earth.

So approximately 14/16 = 0.875

The gravity on Uranus is actually 0.886g whereas Earth is 0.99732.


It is not weaker than Earth's gravity, as for it has more mass.
Gravity does not have a size, smaller would be an incorrect term.

i meant planet

Earth has fewer because Earth has only 1 satellite and Uranus has 27 satellites.

The Planet Uranus has a total circumference of approximately 160,000 kilometers, and is roughly four times the size of the Earth.

The two planets are almost totally dissimilar, except that the lowest cloud levels of Uranus are thought to contain water vapor, as clouds do on Earth. But Uranus has no solid surface for rain to fall on, and is the coldest major planet in the solar system.

Uranus doesn't really have a common nickname like the "Red Planet" or the "Swift Planet", probably because nothing much was known about the planet until the voyager flyby's.

Uranus does however, have the odd nickname of "The Bull's Eye Planet." This could be refering to how the planet happened to be tilted on it's side, caused by another large body hitting a "bulls eye" on it.

However, the most likely explanation is because of it's sideways tilt and the tilt of the rings, from Earth it would appear like a giant celestial dart board, with Uranus being the "Bull's eye."

The planets that are farther from the Sun than Earth are (in this order): * Mars

* Jupiter

* Saturn

* Uranus

* Neptune and sometimes Y, er, I mean the Dwarf Planet Pluto. (It's 'sometimes' because Pluto's orbit brings it closer to the Sun than Neptune part of the time [most recently for 20 years ending in 1999] which is one of the reasons why it was reclassified as a Dwarf Planet.)
