What is the force of Uranus?

What is the force of Uranus?

The surface gravity on Uranus is about 86% of the surface gravity on Earth, so if you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 86 pounds on Uranus (assuming you could find someplace to, well, stand).

How do Uranus move?

Like Venus, Uranus rotates in the opposite direction as most other planets. And unlike any other planet, Uranus rotates on its side.

How fast does Uranus move?

15,290 miles per hour
Uranus revolves or orbits around the Sun once every 84 Earth years, or once every 30,687 Earth days. Uranus travels at an average speed of 15,290 miles per hour or 24,607 kilometers per hour in its orbit around the Sun.

What are 3 interesting facts about Uranus?

Ten Interesting Facts About Uranus

  • Uranus is the coldest planet in the Solar System:
  • Uranus orbits the Sun on its side:
  • A Season on Uranus lasts one long day – 42 years:
  • Uranus is the second-least dense planet:
  • Uranus has rings:
  • The atmosphere of Uranus contains “ices”:
  • Uranus has 27 moons:

What is the gravitational pull of Uranus?

Is Uranus a hot or cold planet?

speeds on Uranus range from 90 to 360 mph and the planet’s average temperature is a frigid -353 degrees F. The coldest temperature found in Uranus’ lower atmosphere so far is -371 degrees F., which rivals Neptune’s frigid temperatures. Findings from Hubble reveal that clouds circle Uranus at over 300 mph.

What is Uranus like to stand on?

Uranus is the second least dense planet in the Solar System (after Saturn). It has enough volume to hold 63 Earths, but it only has 14 times our mass. So if you could stand on the surface of the planet – you can’t, don’t try – you would have a difficult time noticing the lower gravity of Uranus.

What is the acceleration of an object dropped on Uranus?

Another way to look at it is that objects dropped towards Uranus will accelerate towards the planet at 8.69 m/s 2. Does it seem a little strange to you that an planet like Uranus, with the 14 times the mass of Earth, would pull at you with less gravity if you could stand on its surface?

Does Uranus have less gravity if you stand on it?

Does it seem a little strange to you that an planet like Uranus, with the 14 times the mass of Earth, would pull at you with less gravity if you could stand on its surface? The mass is important, but it all depends on how closely that mass is held together.

How fast does the wind travel on Uranus?

Uranus is a giant planet. Wind speeds on giant planets can be as much as 15 times stronger than winds on Earth. Winds on Uranus can travel as fast as 560 miles per hour.
