How has Commedia Dell art evolved so far?
It evolved in the late eighteenth century into forms such as vaudeville.
Did Uranus have any satellites or robots explore it up close?
Yes, the Voyager 2 spacecraft made the only close flyby of Uranus in 1986. It discovered 10 new moons and provided the most detailed images to date of the planet and its atmosphere. No robotic landers or rovers have been sent to Uranus so far.
Does Uranus have a stronger or weaker gravity than Earth?
Uranus has a slightly weaker "surface gravity" compared with the Earth.
How far is Uranus from the moon?
For all practical purposesUranus is just as far from Earth's moon as it is from the Earth.
Does Uranus have visible rings like Saturn?
Yes, Uranus has rings, but they are far less bright than Saturn's.
You can't see them easily from Earth even with a telescope.
So, I would say they're not really "visible" in the ordinary meaning of
that word but with the right technology they can be seen.

Why would a new starter on a 1998 Mercury Topaz not seem to be getting any current?
It could be a bad starter relay, faulty wire(s)/switch(s) and/or dirty connections. I would check the starter relay and connections first. If everything else checks out, it just might be the starter itself.
What was the name of the asteroid that hit earth?
They have not been named. There have been many of them over the millions of years.
Is Uranus just made out of gas?
Uranus was named after the Greek god of the sky. According to myth, he was the father of Saturn and the grandfather of Jupiter.
Venus has a retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction of most planets in our solar system. It rotates very slowly, taking about 243 Earth days to complete one day on Venus.
How many planets are further from the sun than Uranus 123 or 4?
One, namely Neptune. Please note the following caveats:* That refers only to our own Solar System.
* It refers to KNOWN planets; it now seems likely that there are at least 1-2 more planets, but they haven't been confirmed yet.
* It uses the current definition of "planet". A few years ago, Pluto would have been included as well.
What are the names of the spacecraft that have visited Neptune?
Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to currently visit Neptune, passing 3,000 miles from the planet on August 25, 1989.
What are the phases of Uranus?
As seen from Earth, Uranus has no phases.
That is because from the Uranus orbit, 19.22 times as far from the Sun as Earth is, Earth appears to be right next to the Sun. So our perspective is almost the same as the Sun's - which would obviously "see" all planets as completely lit up.
Even with powerful telescopes, it would be very difficult to see Uranus as anything but a fully lit hemisphere. In order to see the night side, we must send spacecraft beyond the planet, then look back toward it.
As it turns out, only Mercury, Venus, and the Moon have a full set of Phases as seen from Earth.
Mars has a (very) partial set of phases, as it is beyond Earth orbit as well, but only by 1 1/2 times, so there are moments when the two planets are about 1/4 of an orbit apart that one would see (again, with a very powerful telescope) a crescent of darkness, before Earth changed position and only could see the fully lit side.
It is not known for certain but it is likely that a massive asteroid impact caused the planets axis rotation to tilt.
Why humans cant live on Uranus?
Because the average temperature is -353 degrees and they would freeze to death.
Why did Ptolemy not use Uranus or Neptune in his diagram?
When Ptolemy was alive, people did not know about Uranus and Neptune, as they had not yet been discovered.
What planet and Uranus are almost identical planets?
Neptune is the planet that is most similar to Uranus in terms of size, composition, and atmosphere. Both planets are similar in size, composition, and are classified as ice giant planets.
Are the rocky planets larger or smaller compared to gas giants?
The rocky inner planets are much smaller. That's why the giants are called giants.
What chemical or gas produces a green to blue color in Uranus and Neptune?
Methane in the atmosphere of Uranus and Neptune absorbs red light and reflects blue-green light, giving these planets their distinct color. It reacts with ultraviolet light to produce hydrocarbons, which contribute to the coloration in the atmosphere.
