Planet Uranus

Uranus gets as close as about 2.75 billion kilometers (1.71 billion miles) to the sun at perihelion, which is the point in its orbit where it is closest to the sun.

The north pole of Uranus gets sunlight for about 42 years, followed by 42 years of darkness due to the extreme tilt of Uranus on its axis. This unique orientation causes each pole to experience long periods of continuous sunlight and darkness as the planet orbits the sun.

On average, the distance from the Sun to Uranus is about 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers). However, since the orbits of planets are not perfectly circular, this distance can vary depending on where Uranus is in its orbit.

The only spacecraft to pass by both Uranus and Neptune was Voyager 2. It was launched by NASA in 1977 and conducted flybys of several planets in our solar system before reaching Uranus in 1986 and Neptune in 1989. Voyager 2 provided valuable data and images of these two gas giants.

Yes, Uranus has mountains and valleys but they do not have specific names like on Earth. The surface features on Uranus are usually referred to by numbers or based on their location.

The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. As such, the outer planets (or Jovian planets) can be said to be outside the asteroid belt. That is, they are located beyond the belt and are therefore further away from the sun than the belt.

Uranus was knocked off its axis due to a collision with another large object passing through space . The object was nearly the size of uranus.
All planets have a tilted axis. The Gravity of the Sun and other planets force the tilt.

if we were to be on uranus the gravity would be 89% of what we get on earth.

William Herschel was a talented musician who played the oboe, violin, and harpsichord, but he is most famous for being an astronomer who discovered the planet Uranus in 1781.

You could jump farther on Mars than Jupiter because Mars has lower gravity than Jupiter. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards a planet's center, so lower gravity on Mars means you can jump higher and farther there compared to the higher gravity on Jupiter.

No, it is not possible to kick a ball to Uranus. Uranus is a planet in our solar system that is over 1.7 billion miles away from Earth, so kicking a ball there is not feasible with current technology.

Mother Earth's first husband was Uranus, and then her second huband I think was Oceanous.

No, Neptune does not orbit around Uranus. Both Neptune and Uranus orbit around the Sun in separate orbits.

Uranus' temperature ranges from about -224 degrees Fahrenheit to -370 degrees Fahrenheit.

It takes Uranus about 17 hours and 14 minutes to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is shorter than a day on Earth, which is 24 hours long.

No, humans could not live on the planet Uranus with a gas mask. A gas mask is a device that is designed to keep out poisonous gas, but it does not supply oxygen. If there is no breathable air, a gas mask won't help you. In addition Uranus is far too cold for human life, and the pressure of the unbreathable atmosphere is too high. Very elaborate life support equipment would be needed for humans to be able to live on Uranus.

There have been no dedicated missions to explore Uranus with satellites or robots. The only spacecraft to have conducted a close flyby of Uranus was Voyager 2 in 1986.

No, this statement is incorrect. Uranus has 27 known moons and 13 distinct rings. The number of moons and rings around Uranus may change as new discoveries are made through ongoing research and observations.

Neptune's atmosphere is made up of 80-percent hydrogen, 19-percent helium, and 1-percent methane. Methane is part of what gives Neptune its brilliant blue tint, as it absorbs red light and reflects bluer colors.

None, Uranus is larger than Earth, so therefore, it's not possible for any Uranus to fit on Earth.

Your question supposes that Uranus is a bit like Earth, with water and land on its surface. In fact, it is nothing at all like Earth, so your questions cannot be answered.

First of all, Uranus is extremely cold, so there is no liquid water on the planet - only very, very cold ice.

All we can see of the planet is the upper or outer part of its atmosphere, which is a mixture of the very light gases hydrogen and helium, mixed with a kind of snowstorm of crystals of methane, ammonia, water and oil. Deep under this outer layer, the ice clouds contain more water ice and less methane ice, and deeper still, you would gradually discover yourself in a very strange, dense fluid composed of a mixture of water and ammonia ice together with hydrogen and rocky rubble. There is no surface separating the ice clouds from the dense mantle - just a gradual transition from one to the other. Right in the middle of the planet is a dense rocky rubble of ice and iron, nickel and silicate, but you could not tell when you left the mantle and entered the core - the planet has no solid surface, and hence no "land". This core has about half, and the mantle around it about 13 times, the mass of our planet.

Uranus is not only the coldest planet in the solar system, but it has another strange characteristic, too. All the planets orbit the Sun in the same plane - in other words, if you put a ball in the middle of a field as a model of the sun, models of the planets would orbit on the field's surface. As they orbit the Sun, they rotate around their own axes, which are oriented "up" and "down" relative to the orbital plane. In this way, their equators are roughly in the same plane as their orbits. Uranus is the exception. Unlike all the other planets, it rotates around an axis that is almost in the orbital plane, so its equator is vertical relative to its orbit. Uranus has rings, like Saturn, but because it lies down as it orbits, sometimes we see the rings edge on, and sometimes flat on, when they look like a circular target centred on this odd ice giant.

On Uranus, your weight would be slightly less than on Earth due to the lower surface gravity. Your weight would be approximately 188 pounds on Uranus.

Uranus rotates on it's axis approximately every 24 and 37 minutes.

When trade winds converge in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), warm, moist air rises and cools, leading to the formation of intense thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. This can result in the development of tropical storms and hurricanes in certain regions.
