know anything about uranus?

i think this is a more practical way of appreciating it: compare gravitation on uranus and the earth using your body weight: go to the link below, type in your weight, then voila! - you get your weight on uranus!\n\nif you just want the numbers and plain facts (i.e., weight = mass x gravity, so you might want to check out mass and gravity, etc.), browse the facts and figures part of the site.

Don't have it handy,but it'sjust a little denser than water, from what I remember. Check www.nasa.gov. They have lots of planetary info!

Uranus. Instead of having a North & South pole, it has an East & West pole.

These are good questions. I do not think anyone knows exactly, but I have heard the conjecture often that Pluto is an escaped moon or a captured planet from somewhere else, and was not present at the formation of the Solar System. Also it is possible that Pluto's strange orbit is the result of some collision. \n\nThe rotational angular momentum of Uranus is quite different from the other planets. It's rotational axis is tilted significantly from the orthogonal to the ecliptic (plane of orbits of most planets), and it is said to rotate in the "opposite" sense to earth and the sun and some of the other planets. However, since the tilt of Uranus' rotational axis is roughly 97.92 degrees, I do not know how strongly I would want to assert that it rotates in the opposite or retrograde sense to most of the other bodies in the solar system. Again, this could be caused by a collision. In one of the attached references, it is claimed that this could be caused by a tidal effect, but it is hard for me to understand how. \n\nIt turns out that both Pluto and Venus also rotate in a retrograde sense, so it is not that uncommon, although theories of the origin of the solar system imply that one would not expect a lot of deviations of angular momentum from the major direction of angular momentum in the system. In the case of our system, especially given the orbits of the planets with small inclinations to the ecliptic, and the very large angular momenta of the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn, this is basically correct. \n\nNeptune is probably called the blue planet because it is blue, although of course Uranus and Earth are blue as well (for different reasons). Neptune's blue is at least partly caused by the presence of methane in its atmosphere.

I bid on it, but did you make the one I asked for on Uranus yet?\n\nTheyre getting impatient!

Any life form as we know it could never live on Uranus. Of course, I think it's a bit arrogant and short-sighted to think that we know any and all forms that life can take. After all, life exists at the bottom of oceans where it was once thought living organisms could never survive. We have such a small perspective so far that there could be many forms of life that we can't currently imagine. Only time will tell.

The Planet Uranus has been visited by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in a flyby in 1986.

can't count the stars but hear that there are many rings around Uranus....and maybe a few dingleberries too.

Neptune: my favorite planet!\n\nYou have great tastes in planets my friend.  I will gladly help you out.  \n\nNeptune is about 49500 kilometers. in diameter, about four times the size of Earth, which is about 12800 kilometers. in diameter. Neptune and Uranus are almost the same size, but both seem tiny in comparison to mighty Jupiter, which is almost three times as large as either of them. \n\nAlso, At the center, there is a large rocky core about the size of earth, one of the largest cores of the planets.\n\nEnjoy!\n\nThank you for making this question!

Because Pluto is too far, Jupiter is nothing by gas, and why would anyone consider Uranus?

Uranus is in the middle

a new hurricaine like storm has been located on Saturn, and a large storm on Uranus has stopped, maybee it jumped ship!!!

All the planets are tipped to some extent, but URANUS is the most tipped -- 97 degrees, 55 minutes\n\nHere are the other planets with their respective tilts --\nMercury    30 degrees\nVenus       1 degree\nEarth         23 degrees, 27 minutes\nMars          23 degrees, 59 minutes\nJupiter        3 degrees, 05 minutes\nSaturn        26 degrees, 44 minutes\nUranus        97 degrees, 55 minutes\nNeptune      28 degrees, 48 minutes

maybe they are aliens from uranus

Jupiter has 63 moons, Saturn 56, Uranus 27 and Neptune 13.\n\nSaturn's ring system is best known and the most prominent. Though all four gas giants have rings. Though this is not well known.\n\nI suspect you are working from old information. i.e. out-of-date totals of moons and rings that have since been surpassed by further discoveries. That makes it a bit of detective work as to which planet's historical record you have been reading.\n\nSATURN  \n\nIn 1980 Voyager 1 increased the number of known Saturnian moons from 11 to 19. With Atlas being Saturn XV to be discovered. There appear to be 12 major rings (but many minor ones) and two of those are of recent discovery so perhaps your sources have not caught up with the latest Huygens-Cassini flybys and Hubble telescope surveys,\n\nNEPTUNE\n\nhas five, possibly six other rings and four ring arcs (incomplete rings) within the Adams ring. In order outwards:\n\nGalle \nuncertain    \nLeVerrier \nLassell  \nArago  \nunnamed    \nAdams \n\nArcs in Adams Ring \nFraternité  \nÉgalité  \nLiberté  \nCourage \n\nIn addition to its 13 moons, as of November 2006, there are five known Trojan asteroids of Neptune which have the same orbital period as the planet. They lie in the elongated, curved regions around the L4 and L5 Lagrangian points 60° ahead of and behind Neptune. These are 2001 QR322, 2004 UP10, 2005 TN53, 2005 TO74 and 2006 RJ103. But these are not moons: they rotate with the planet around the Sun.\n\nURANUS\n\nFive large moons (Titania, Oberon, Ariel, Umbriel and Miranda) were known in 1948. The flyby of the Voyager 2 space probe in January 1986 led to the discovery of a further 10 inner moons, bringing the total to 15. But 12 more have emerged since then.\n\nWikipedia lists 13 Uranian rings and NASA lists 10, but both state that two further rings were then found in 2005.\n\nJUPITER\n\nhas too few rings to meet the description provided.\n\nThe main ring is made of dust from the satellites Adrastea and Metis. \n\nInside the main ring is a torus of faint particles known as the halo. The gas torus consists of ions generated by Io's vulcanism that contributes significantly to radiation levels in Jupiter's vicinity.\n\nTwo wide gossamer rings encircle the main ring, originating from Thebe and Amalthea. \n\nFinally, there is a distant and very faint outer ring circling Jupiter backwards—retrograde of its spin. It is not known for sure where the material for this outer ring comes from, but it may be captured interplanetary dust.\n\nCONCLUSON\n\nAs Jupiter has too few rings and Neptune too few moons, you must mean Uranus or Saturn,\n\nI incline towards Uranus as its total of moons stopped at 15, and according to one account its total of rings stopped at 10 for a few years.

well, maybe not a huge ice block, but certainly an ice sphere.  Pluto (although not new, and I believe has recently been stripped of its planet status) is basically pure ice as far as we know, with possibly a small rocky core.  The further you get from the sun the more icy the planets will be and the closer you get the more rocky, you'll find more gaseous planets in the middle.  If you want to name 10 new planets around our solar system, then you can probably go to the nasa website or space.com and research the many pluto-style "planets" that have been found beyond our 8 planets, one of the largest thus far is at least temporarily dubbed xena, but there are many others like it that have been discovered.  If you want to know how our solar systems planets were named, again the nasa website is great or just type in the planets name on google and it will give you a lot of information.  Good luck to you and have fun!
