URANUS By Nick Towers

The Name ❏ Uranus got its name from the god of the sky. ❏ Uranus means “father of the titans” in Greek Mythology.

Discovery ❏ First planet discovered in modern times. ❏ Discovered by William Herschel on March 13, ❏ Uranus was spotted many other times, but it was looked at as a star.

Planet Measurements Mass: 8.683e25 kg Volume: 68,330,000,000,000 km Density: 1.27 g/cm Gravity: 8.69 m/s 3 3 2

Float or Sink in Water ❏ Uranus would float in water because of its low density. ❏ It is the second least dense planet in the solar system.

Atmosphere ❏ Icy atmosphere ❏ 83% hydrogen ❏ 15% helium ❏ 2% methane ❏ Thick atmosphere

Distance  Uranus is the 7th planet from the sun.  2,877,000,000 km from the Sun.  2,057,000,000 km from Earth.

Orbit and Rotation  Takes 84 earth years to orbit the sun.  Takes 17 hours and 14 minutes to rotate on its own axis.

Temperature  -243 to -370 degrees F  The temperature on Uranus is much colder than on earth.

Composition/Appearance  Uranus is a gas giant because its surface lacks a solid.  The internal composition contains hydrogen, helium, and methane.  Uranus is one of the outer planets. Uranus looks very similar to Neptune. Uranus is a blue/green color. It has rings orbiting it, but they are hard to see.

Rings There are rings around Uranus, but they are very difficult to see. James Elliot, Edward Dunham, and Douglas Mink discovered it when Uranus passed in front of a star and was noticed that there were dips in the brightness.  13 rings, Color: Blue-ish, clear. It is made of Black dust particles, large rocks, and helium.

Water  Not sure, but astronomers suspect there could have been lots of water.

Weather  It is beyond freezing cold.  It is the coldest planet in the Solar System.

Moons  Uranus does have moons orbit around it.  There are 27 moons

 If a human went to Uranus they would probably freeze to death.

Something Special  Uranus rotates from top to bottom unlike all of the other planets which rotate side to side.  Uranus is the coldest planet in the Solar System.  Uranus has rings.  It was the first planet discovered in modern times.  Uranus is the 7 th planet from the sun.
