Blue coloured Unusual Planet Uranus
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. The first planet found with the help of a telescope, Uranus, was discovered in 1781 by an astronomer named William Herschel, although he originally thought it was either a comet or a star. But, after two years, it was universally accepted as a planet. Uranus is four times than that of the Earth.
The planet's name is derived from
The planet was named for Uranus, the Greek god of the sky, as suggested by the astronomer Johann Bode. Johann Bode was the astronomer who observed this planet after William Herschel. According to Greek mythology, the name is a reference to the Greek god of the sky, Uranus, who was the grandfather of Zeus (Jupiter) and the father of Cronus (Saturn).
Uranus' Atmosphere-
It is the third-largest planet in the Solar System. Uranus is the cold planet in the solar system. It is very cold and windy. The planet's mass is made up of a hot, dense fluid of "icy" materials, i.e., water, methane, and ammonia, above a small rocky core. Uranus gets the blue-green colour from methane gas in the atmosphere as sunlight passes through the atmosphere and is reflected back out by Uranus' cloud tops.
Rotten stinks like eggs.
The atmosphere on Uranus is composed of hydrogen sulfide, the same molecule that makes rotten eggs smell bad. The planet is about 1.6 billion miles away, and scientists discovered this information Nasa, through a spectrometer, studied Uranus and found traces of hydrogen sulfide. Nasa may intend to send humans to Planet Mars, but the atmospheric condition on Planet Uranus is minus 200, and suffocation will prevent a human from remaining alive on the planet.
An Unusual Find About Uranus-
It orbits the Sun on its side, and one day on Uranus takes about 17 hours: This ice giant, Uranus, is surrounded by 13 faint rings. The inner rings are narrow and dark, and the outer rings are bright and coloured and easy to see. Uranus has 27 moons, and the atmosphere of Uranus contains "ice".
Uranus absorbs heat from the sun and gives off less. While the other large planets have hot cores that radiate infrared radiation more. Uranus's core has cooled down to the point that it has very little energy to radiate.
Recently, scientists discovered Uranus is emitting X-rays for the first time. NASA's Chandra Observatory took snapshots in the years 2002 and 2017, and noticed a clear detection of X-rays. Scientists also have the viewpoint of the sun's scattering x-rays being noticed as the ice giants cannot emit x-rays, they said. Another strong view they hold is that the Uranus ring may emit an x-ray.
Rolling Ball of Uranus-
All the planets have a spinning top as they go around the Sun, but Uranus looks like a ball rolling in a circular pattern.
With a tilt of 97.77 degrees, Uranus is the only planet whose equator is at a right angle to its orbit. It may be possible that it is the result of a collision with the mass of an Earth-sized object long ago. This tilt causes its most extreme seasons in the solar system. For nearly a quarter of each Uranian year, the sun shines directly over each pole. It plunges the other half of the planet into a long, cold, dark winter.
From east to west, Uranus is also one of two planets that rotate in the opposite direction (Venus is the other one).
