One day on Uranus takes about 17 hours. This is the amount of time it takes Uranus to rotate, or spin once around its axis. Uranus makes a complete orbit around the Sun (a year in Uranian time) in about 84 Earth years (30,687 Earth days).
23 cze 2023 · The tilt in Uranus' axis subjects its magnetic poles to long, dark winters and long, bright summers. It takes 17 hours for Uranus to orbit or rotate completely. But it takes about 84 Earth years (30,687 Earth days) for Uranus to make a complete orbit around the sun.
2 sie 1998 · Based on the previous Voyager observations, Uranus spins on its axis at a faster rate than Earth does, completing one rotation every 7 hours, 14 minutes. One of the four gas giant planets of our solar system, Uranus is largely featureless.
1 sty 2014 · Here, we summarize the main observed rotational characteristics of the planets of the solar system and explain how the rotation might have evolved during the history of the solar system. On short timescales, planetary rotation is variable and yields information on the interior structure of planets.
Uranus’ axis is so tilted, it actually looks like the planet is rotating on its side. How did this all happen? One theory is that a body the size of our Earth collided with Uranus a long time ago, radically throwing off its rotation.
Uranus has an unusual, irregularly shaped magnetosphere. Magnetic fields are typically in alignment with a planet's rotation, but Uranus' magnetic field is tipped over: the magnetic axis is tilted nearly 60 degrees from the planet's axis of rotation, and is also offset from the center of the planet by one-third of the planet's radius.
