None. It is an ice-cold planet and even if there were clouds containing water, it would be way too cold to fall as rain. And no, it doesn't snow on Uranus either. Last time someone counted, there were 6 clouds above the whole of the planet. The planet is basically an enormous ball of ice.
Is Uranus' surface rocky or flat?
Uranus' surface is composed mainly of icy and rocky materials, with a relatively smooth appearance compared to other gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. The surface features on Uranus, such as craters and valleys, suggest that there may be some dynamic processes shaping the planet's exterior.
What are five differences between Saturn and Uranus?
Technical bonus answers.
What forms of water are found in uranus or on any moon?
In Uranus and its moons, water primarily exists in the form of ice due to the extremely cold temperatures. Some moons, like Enceladus and Europa, have subsurface oceans, where water is in liquid form. These moons may also have water vapor in their thin atmospheres.
What is the atmosphere of Uranus and what is the percentage?
The atmosphere of Uranus is composed primarily of hydrogen (83%) and helium (15%), with traces of methane (2%) and other gases. It also contains clouds of water, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide. The high presence of methane gives Uranus its blue-green color.
The term "lazy planet" is not scientifically accurate. Uranus is a planet in our solar system that rotates on its side, giving it unique characteristics compared to other planets. Its rotation causes extreme seasons and magnetic field variations.
Which planet is blue and cold and far away?
Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun in our solar system. It appears blue due to the methane gas in its atmosphere reflecting sunlight. Neptune is a cold planet with temperatures dropping as low as -357°F (-216°C).
Do Uranus and Neptunes magnetic fields interact?
Yes, Uranus and Neptune have unique magnetic fields that are influenced by the movement of their conducting fluids deep within their interiors. These magnetic fields can interact with each other when the two planets pass close to each other in their orbits, creating a complex and dynamic relationship between them.
How much farther than the sun is is Uranus than earth?
Uranus is approximately 1.77 billion miles (2.8 billion kilometers) farther from the Sun than Earth.
What planet's diameter is eight times smaller than Uranus?
Here are all diameters of the planets. Pluto is no planet anymore.
Mercury 4,880 km
Venus 12,104 km
Earth 12,756 km
Mars 6,794 km
Jupiter 142,984 km
Saturn 120,536 km
Uranus 51,118 km
Neptune 49,532 km
Look for yourself.
51118 km / 8 = 6,389 km - that is close to Mars.
How close does uranus get to the sun in its orbit?
Uranus is approximately 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers) away from the Sun at its closest point in its orbit, which is known as perihelion. This distance is about 20 times the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, so Uranus never comes very close to the Sun compared to other planets in our solar system.
How much does it cost to go to Uranus?
If you have to ask, then you can't afford it. Nobody has ever been to Uranus,
and there is no plan underway to send anybody.
Which planet is called the green planet?
Earth and mercery have atmospheres so there greenhouse planets
Where the Earth is known as green planet or Uranus?
The Earth is often referred to as the "Green Planet" due to its abundance of plant life and lush vegetation. Uranus, on the other hand, is known for its distinct blue-green color resulting from the presence of methane in its atmosphere.
Why haven't astronauts visited Uranus?
It is too dangerous and it's a very long way from earth.
======================================
The farthest that astronauts have ever been from Earth was an orbit that took them
around the moon.
It's very easy to talk about going to other planets. But the closest that the planet
Uranus ever gets to the Earth is still more than 6,000 times farther than that.
And then you'd probably want to bring them back too, if that were possible.
How fast does Uranus rotate around the sun?
Uranus is 1,783,950,480 miles from the sun, so Uranus takes about 84.01 Earth years to complete one revolution around the Sun.
Light from the Sun takes about 160 minutes to reach Uranus.
Hope it helps!!
What part of uranus is made of solid material?
The core of Uranus is made up of a combination of rock and metal. This solid core is surrounded by thick layers of icy materials such as water, ammonia, and methane.
What part of uranus is made of solid?
The core of Uranus is believed to be made of solid rock and metal compounds, such as iron and nickel. This solid core is surrounded by layers of icy materials, water, ammonia, and methane that make up most of the planet's mass.
Is europa a terrestrial planet or a jovian planet?
Europa is a moon of Jupiter, making it a part of the jovian planet system. It is not a planet itself but rather a satellite that orbits a gas giant. Europa is an icy world with a subsurface ocean that is believed to have conditions suitable for life.
Scientists think that Uranus was likely struck by a massive object in the early days of the solar system, causing it to be knocked onto its side. This collision would explain Uranus' unusual tilt of about 98 degrees compared to its orbit around the Sun.
Which planet's interior is like Uranus?
Beneath the atmosphere, there is a liquid layer of hydrogen and helium. As depth increases, this layer becomes more viscous, and then partly solid. This layer may be composed of compressed water with ammonia and methane.

Does Pluto exerts a noticeable gravitational influence on Uranus?
no.
Edit: It depends what you mean by noticeable, of course. Astronomers have very accurate ways of measuring orbits these days and the effect will be
measurable, I'm sure. But it probably isn't very important.
