What does Uranus look like?
108831
Like the other gas planets, Uranus has bands of clouds that blow around rapidly. But they are extremely faint, visible only with radical image enhancement .

probably. scientists have drawn them, but it isn't widely known what it looks like.

ive heard there are some faint rings around Uranus.

What sort of features are you hoping to see? An 80mm would be enough to see the red spot on Jupiter and the rings of Saturn. It probably won't make out the Cassini division in the rings, though.  You should also be able to see cloud bands on Jupiter. When looking at Mars, you might be ble to see some dark splotches during excellent seeing conditions, but Mars is a hard object for everyone. The most you will ever see on Venus is the phase because the clouds obscure everything else. Mercury is a hard object and is way too small to see anything. Uranus will be a blue dot as will Neptune. You won't see Pluto.\n\nI hope this helps!

Jupiter is bigger, Saturn is prettier, Venus has more gas, but I adore Uranus.

Uranus has a core about Earth-sized, but with the atmosphere, it is four time bigger than Earth, so it's got a lot of gas.\n\nNo, you couldn't walk on it. No, its atmosphere wouldn't be blown off if it was closer.\n\nThere are no gas giants near the Sun because, 5 billion years ago when the Sun started its nuclear reactions, it let off a huge blast wave that forced almost all of the gases out of the inner solar system. That's why the inner planets are small and rocky.

Rings circle all four of the gas giant planets in our solar system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, though only Saturn’s are obvious when viewed from Earth. Contrary to their appearance, they are not solid rings or disks at all. Rather they are composed of bits and pieces of ice, rock and dust. In the case of Saturn’s brightly visible rings, they consist of more ice, which reflects sunlight effectively. The rings of the other planets contain mostly dust, which is dark and doesn’t reflect much light. Additionally, whereas Saturn's rings are wide, the other planets sport thin rings.\nThe rings of Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune probably arose as a result of meteor impacts on their tiny inner satellites. Dust and rocky debris blasted off the satellites' surfaces continues to orbit the planet for many years.  Of interest, Earth is acquiring its own "ring system" of space junk and debris from old satellites and launch vehicles.

This new planet/TNO has a number of similarities with Pluto. Analysis of the composition of 2003 UB313 shows the presence of methane ice. Pluto’s composition also shows methane ice, but (other) TNOs do not.

Neptune and Uranus are made mostly of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon, same as the comets... only in a way bigger clump that's still warm enough to keep them as gasses.\n\nSo the outer clouds are mostly hydrogen.  Then methane, then water vapor, then we can't see, but we think below that there's water, and probably some methane hydrate ices, and ice, and a bunch of carbon compounds, and at the very bottom, there's probably a "rocky core" of some solid material, which is probably mostly made of carbon compressed down very tightly, maybe into crystals.  Somebody did a research paper on it, and titled it "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," in the 60s.

Jupiter has many colored bands ranging from a rust color to white.  All of the colors are earthtones (browns, tans, orangish, reddish).  These colors are all found in the gaseous clouds around the core.  The color of the core is unknown as no manmade object has ever survived a descent into the atmosphere.

Well, you make friends easily you are quick-witted and lively, open in your dealings, honest and truthful.  Intelligent and charming, you are particularly suited to a position of leadership.  You are idealistic in your outlook and want nothing more than for the world to be happy and harmonious.  Though you have a reputation for being fair and tolerant, there is a strong streak of inflexibility to your nature.  You are often intolerant of people's shortcomings and can be wickedly sarcastic and very funny at the same time.  You are a system of paradoxes.  Fame come easily to Aquarius-rising people but many times it is just as easily taken away.  You approach new places and situations with a spirit of adventure, even though the spirit does tend to wear thin.  Because you quickly become bored.  You tend to have a wide forehead, fine bone structure in your face, and dreamy wandering eyes.  Many of you are quite tall a rangy-looking. \n\nAs for Uranus in Sagittarius, Uranus exhibits itself as pioneering and adventurous.  You are very independent and rebel against anything overly organized and structured.  At times you are restless and quite reckless.  You are proud and courageous andoften have an unconventional point of view.  Uranus in this position also endows you with prophetic vision and insight, and you can often tell when something important is about to happen.

Uranus obeys the Titius-Bode rule, it is Neptune which doesn't.\n\nNo hard explanation, only an analogy: in quantum mechanics, the outer orbits of electrons may approach a continuum, as they do in metal bonds. With the increasing distances in the logarithmic Titius-Bode sequence, probably the quadratic distance influence of gravity allow intermediary orbits.

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and the third largest (by diameter). Uranus is larger in diameter but smaller in mass than Neptune. \n\n        orbit:    2,870,990,000 km (19.218 AU) from Sun\n        diameter: 51,118 km (equatorial)\n        mass:     8.683e25 kg\n\n\nHardcopy The New Solar System \nSummarizes what we've learned from interplanetary explorations in the last 25 years.

Uranus was the son and mate of Gaia the father of Cronus (Saturn) and of the Cyclopes and Titans (predecessors of the Olympian gods). \n\nUranus, the first planet discovered in modern times, was discovered by William Herschel while systematically searching the sky with his telescope on March 13, 1781. It had actually been seen many times before but ignored as simply another star (the earliest recorded sighting was in 1690 when John Flamsteed cataloged it as 34 Tauri). Herschel named it "the Georgium Sidus" (the Georgian Planet) in honor of his patron, the infamous (to Americans) King George III of England; others called it "Herschel". The name "Uranus" was first proposed by Bode in conformity with the other planetary names from classical mythology but didn't come into common use until 1850. \n\nUranus has been visited by only one spacecraft, Voyager 2 on Jan 24 1986. \n\n Most of the planets spin on an axis nearly perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic but Uranus' axis is almost parallel to the ecliptic. At the time of Voyager 2's passage, Uranus' south pole was pointed almost directly at the Sun. This results in the odd fact that Uranus' polar regions receive more energy input from the Sun than do its equatorial regions. Uranus is nevertheless hotter at its equator than at its poles. The mechanism underlying this is unknown. \n\nActually, there's an ongoing battle over which of Uranus' poles is its north pole! Either its axial inclination is a bit over 90 degrees and its rotation is direct, or it's a bit less than 90 degrees and the rotation is retrograde. The problem is that you need to draw a dividing line *somewhere*, because in a case like Venus there is little dispute that the rotation is indeed retrograde (not a direct rotation with an inclination of nearly 180). \n\nUranus is composed primarily of rock and various ices, with only about 15% hydrogen and a little helium (in contrast to Jupiter and Saturn which are mostly hydrogen). Uranus (and Neptune) are in many ways similar to the cores of Jupiter and Saturn minus the massive liquid metallic hydrogen envelope. It appears that Uranus does not have a rocky core like Jupiter and Saturn but rather that its material is more or less uniformly distributed. \n\nUranus' atmosphere is about 83% hydrogen, 15% helium and 2% methane. \n\n Like the other gas planets, Uranus has bands of clouds that blow around  rapidly. But they are extremely faint, visible only with radical image enhancement of the Voyager 2 pictures (right). Recent observations with HST (left) show larger and more pronounced streaks. Further HST observations show even more activity. Uranus is no longer the bland boring planet that Voyager saw! It now seems clear that the differences are due to seasonal effects since the Sun is now at a lower Uranian latitude which may cause more pronounced day/night weather effects. By 2007 the Sun will be directly over Uranus's equator. \n\nUranus' blue color is the result of absorption of red light by methane in the upper a

My guess:\n\nIn Roman mythology Pluto is the God of the underworld, which is all cold and dark.  The ninth planet is also cold and dark.  Hence, the name.
