One can acquire a lot of knowledge about the discovered facts about the universe. The discovery of the planets alone and exploration tours by satellites and distant observation using a telescope has offered so much knowledge to human about the space. Focusing on a planet like Uranus for example, there is so much one can learn from this magnificent planet. It is a cool space fact that Uranus is the seventh furthest planet from the sun. It is also a cool space fact that the planet earth is third with mercury being the first and Venus the second. Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn tend to come in between the earth and Uranus. It is also a cool fact that it took long to discover planet Uranus due to the fact that it is dim and also take longer to complete a revolution around the sun. It is the first planet that was discovered using a telescope. The planet Uranus tends to be known as the planet rolling around the sun due to its 98? inclination to its axis.
Uranus has an equatorial diameter of 51,118 km, polar diameter of 49,946 km and a mass of 8.68 x 10^25 kg (15 Earths). It is also known to have moons such as Umbriel, Oberon, and Titania. One would also need to note that the planet Uranus tends to have 13 rings and its temperatures tend to sink as low as -216 ?C. The planet also tend to turn on its axis and takes 17 hours and 14 minutes and turns in the opposite direction when compared to the earth. The name Uranus is also said to come from an ancient Greek deity which was known as Ouranos.
It is also a fact that the Uranus tend to have some parts exposed to the sun for 42 years then enjoy another 42 years of darkness. Uranus is also known to have a pale blue color that is as a result of water on its upper atmosphere that also tend to contain methane ice crystals and ammonia. It is also a fact that Uranus also tend to poses hydrogen that is also mixed with helium and a mixture of ice and rock at the mantle.
Compared to other planets, Uranus tend to hit the lowest temperature range. Uranus tend to experience temperatures as low as -224?C. On average, Neptune tend to be averagely colder but does not hit temperatures as low as -224?C. Miranda tends to be the most amazing moon with terraces, ice canyons, and other strange looking surfaces. One would need to note that a spacecraft has taken close range images displaying images of its moons, its rings as well as detailed information of the planet Uranus.
