What greek god or goddess is earth named after?
"Ge" of Gaea means "Earth"; it holds the same for "De".
As in Demeter (Earth Mother).
Why is Uranus' gravity less than Neptune if Uranus is bigger?
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.
Which plant has fewer satellites earth or Uranus?
i meant planet
Earth has fewer because Earth has only 1 satellite and Uranus has 27 satellites.
What is the diameter and mass of Uranus?
The Planet Uranus has a total circumference of approximately 160,000 kilometers, and is roughly four times the size of the Earth.
What part of Uranus is most like 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.
What are some other names for Uranus?
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."
What planets are further from the sun than Uranus?
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.)
Is Jupiter a gas giant or is it a rocky planet?
Jupiter is a gas giant..... However, Shoemaker–Levy comet fragments collided with Jupiter's southern hemisphere between July 16 and July 22, 1994, at a speed of approximately 134,000 mph. The scars from the impacts persisted for many months.... So, some say its a gas giant, but if a comet collided with it, made plumes of ash and soil for 1000s of miles across, well... Seems like it has some surface some people won't accept.
Does uranus have a robot or satellite?
Just one spacecraft has visited Uranus. That was Voyager 2
Voyager 2, has now become an interstellar spacecraft.
This means that it has left the solar system.
If you are asking whether or not we have gone to Uranus with a rover, the answer is no. We are still putting more and more rovers on Mars, which is relatively close in comparison with Uranus.
Mars takes about 8 and a half months to reach. If that is close than Uranus is REALLY far away.
That means that if we haven't put a man on Mars, we definitely haven't put a man on Uranus.
How did Uranus get many of its smaller moons?
It's not clear where Uranus' moons have come from. Theories suggest they were pulled into orbit or formed alongside Uranus during the development of the Solar System.
How is Uranus related to the other plaets?
In our Solar System, Uranus is:
- The second-farthest planet from the Sun. Neptune is farther still.
- The fourth largest planet, after Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune.
Is Uranus' atmosphere tick or thin?
Jupiter has no proper surface like the Earth does. However at around 5000 kilometres (3000 miles) deep, high pressure causes the gasses of which Jupiter is composed to liquefy. This is a smooth transition from gas to liquid though, so its hard to say at which point the 'surface' actually begins.
It is equally logical to infer that at extreme depths the pressure that liquefies gasses also can create great heat, thus causing solids to liquefy as well, such as certain metals and other crystalline solids.
What is the turning point in new moon?
The turning point in the plot is when Edward thinks Bella killed herself ,So he goes to the volturi and kills himself to be with Bella ,but Alice saw what Edward is going to do so, Alice tells Bella , so Bella and Alice go and save Edward
No one has landed on Saturn. In fact there isn't anywhere to land as it is a gas giant.
What did the god of Uranus mean?
Uranus, the greek sky god, means Heaven. He was responsible for sunshine and rain. Johann Bode chose the name so Uranus would have a mythological name like the other planets.
Does Uranus have many satellites or a few?
Uranus had 27 known moons last time I checked. There are no artificial satellites.
How are Jupiter Saturn and Uranus the same?
These are all large planets in the solar system that revolve around the sun.
Is it true or false uranus have more satellites than any other planets?
True. Uranus has 27 known moons, which is more than any other planet in our solar system.
Does uranus have mountains craters and plains?
No. It is a gas planet, meaning it does not have a solid surface.
How long would it take to walk to Uranus?
Walking to Uranus is impossible because it is a gas giant located about 1.9 billion miles (3 billion kilometers) away from Earth. Even if you could walk in space, at an average walking speed of 3 miles per hour, it would take over 200 million hours, or approximately 22,800 years, to cover that distance. Additionally, the harsh conditions of space and the lack of a solid surface make such a journey unfeasible.
