Planet Uranus

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.

Mercury, the Roman god of speed, is an appropriate name for the planet because it is the closest planet to the sun and moves rapidly in its orbit. Mercury's swift movement and short orbit period of just 88 days parallel the speedy characteristics associated with the god Mercury.

Yes, the average temperatures are -184.C.

== == Uranus sidereal rotation rate is 17 hours 14 minutes 24 seconds [See Link]

The time it takes to travel from Saturn to Uranus varies depending on the positions of the planets in their orbits. On average, a spacecraft traveling at a speed of about 20 km/s would take around 6-7 years to reach Uranus from Saturn.

Since Uranus has a 92% tilt on its axis, the sun sets every 42 years. One side of Uranus faces the sun for 42 years while the other side faces darkness at the same time. Then when 42 years go by, this reverses.

No, nobody has ever landed on Uranus. It is a gas giant planet with no solid surface, so it is not possible for spacecraft or humans to land on it. The only missions that have studied Uranus have been flybys conducted by spacecraft like Voyager 2.

You could not stand on Uranus because it does not have a well defined solid surface, even though it has a core that is thought to be made up of various kinds of ices. It is sometimes called a water-ammonia ocean.

As with all planets it is an oblate spheroid

They are close to non-existent, first because Uranus is so far from the Sun, and second because Uranus is a gas giant. The huge volume of gas keeps the planet pretty close to the same temperature all the time.

Saturn is much bigger than Uranus. Its diameter is more than twice as large (even without the rings) at 120,000 kilometers to 51,000 for Uranus. Saturn is more than six times as massive as Uranus (95 times Earth compared to 14.5 Earths).

The planet, "Uranus" has 27 moons . . . there may be a few that have not been discovered.

The odd thing about the names of Uranus's moons is that they are all named for characters in Shakepeare's plays. All the other planets' moons are named for Greek gods or their friends and enemies.

Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus, and Saturn are all gas giants. They are composed mostly of hydrogen and helium and do not have solid surfaces like terrestrial planets. They also have ring systems, although Neptune's rings are less prominent compared to those of Saturn.

The planet Uranus was discovered by the British astronomer William Herschel on March 13, 1781. Herschel initially thought he had found a comet, but further observations revealed it to be a new planet.

"Ricky Ricotta's Mighty Robot vs. the Uranium Unicorns from Uranus" is typically classified as a children's book suitable for readers aged 6-8 years old. It is written at a second to third grade reading level.
