In mythology, Uranus was the lord of the skies and husband to Earth. Uranus was also king of the gods until he was overthrown by his son, Saturn.
Weight:
It would take you many years to fly a rocket to Uranus. When you arrived you would weigh less because Uranus' gravity is not as strong as the Earth's. If you weigh 70 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 62 pounds on Uranus.
Fun Facts:
Like Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus is a member of the gas giant family. However, unlike all the other planets and most of the moons in our Solar System, Uranus spins on its side. It is believed that long ago a very large object smashed into planet Uranus, forcing to rotate in a new direction.
A second theory is that the extreme tilt of Uranus' axis may have been caused by a large moon that was slowly pulled away from the planet by another large planet a very long time ago. According to this theory, it is thought that the gravitational pull of this moon moving away from Uranus caused it to tilt on its side. …show more content…

It is made up of methane, hydrogen and helium. Uranus is also a very cold planet. It has been called the "ice giant." It is believed that Uranus is made up of rock and ice and that Uranus has a large rocky core. Because of the tremendous planetary pressure of Uranus, there could possibly be trillions of large diamonds in or on the surface of this planet.
Scientists also believe that on the surface of Uranus there may be a huge ocean. And, interestingly, it is thought that the temperature of this ocean may be extremely hot, maybe even as hot as 5000

This goes hand in hand with Newton's Laws of motion and universal gravitation. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a gravitational force and Newton's law of motion states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. Newton's Laws back up Kepler's laws by explaining how the planets orbit is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci or center. The force that allows this to happen to the planets are explained by Newton's law and that the gravitational force is moving the planets into rotation, as by the law of motion. These forces assisting each other can make phenomenon's occur such as tides.

This shows that Pluto can’t or isn’t classified as a planet. I disagree with this because Pluto still orbits the sun and has enough mass to be round. There are only 3 requirements to be a planet and Pluto has 2 of those 3. In conclusion, not only does Pluto have enough mass to be round, but it also orbits the sun. I feel that Pluto should still be considered a planet for these two reasons.

Uranus was originally thought to be a comet because of Herschel’s discovery. The true beauty of a scientific community shines through what happened next in history. Due to the research carried out by William Herschel other astronomers investigated this “comet” and many suggested it to be other things. A Russian astronomer named Anders Johann Lexell actually was the one who calculated an orbit for this comet which gave reason to many other astronomers to believe that this comet was in fact a planet which of course we know now holds true. Herschel became famous because of this discover and I think the greatest thing to come of his discovery is that he “was able to continue with his unique program of astronomical observation.

The opposing side that claims Pluto should be considered a planet might make the argument that Pluto is a planet because it has many similarities to planets, such as it also being round, having a moon, and orbiting the Sun. However, their argument is not necessarily true. Welcome to the Space! The Dwarf Planet Pluto, the IAU stated that planets must orbit a star, cannot be a moon, have no debris in their orbit, and are round (Howell para 2). Once again, this shows that Pluto is not a planet because Pluto does not clear its neighborhood of debris.

The planet Pluto was first discovered in 1930, by an astronomer name Clyde Tombaugh. At the time it was an incredible discovery and it was named the 9th planet in our solar system. However, as scientists learned more and more about the planet they were less and less sure that it was an actual planet. Nowadays, it is classified as a dwarf planet but, even though most scientists believe otherwise, Pluto is a planet because of all it’s planetary traits. The IAU (International Astronomical Union) has 3 basic criteria for an object to be a planet.

As a planet, Uranus has 14.5 times the mass of earth. It radiates 1.06 times the energy that it receives from the sun, which is less than the energy radiation of the other Jovian planets. However, only the astral plane of the Uranus sphere is of major interest to the adept. There are 48 primal genii whose powers are quite limitless and abstract in nature. Upon the completion of creation, Metatron placed the entire set of quabbalistic keys into the hands of these genii.

The Discovery of Uranus by William Hershel William Hershel was a German born, living in England as a musician. One of his interests was astronomy, and he found himself searching the planets for life night after night and looking for double stars and fuzzy objects called nebulae. Since the telescopes available at the time were poor quality, he proceeded to construct his own, more powerful ones. In doing this he was able to observe farther distances with more accuracy. One night on March 13, 1781 he observed what he thought was a large nebula or a comet.

Saturn is the second largest planet and sixth number planet of our solar system. Saturn is a gas giant made up of hydrogen and helium. It is big enough to hold more than 760 Earths within it, and is second massive planet after Jupiter, roughly 95 times Earth 's mass. However, Saturn has the lowest density among all the planets of solar system .It spins faster than any other planet except Jupiter which help Saturn with its magnetic field which is about 578 times more powerful than Earth 's. Although Saturn has at least 62 moons but its largest moon, Titan, is slightly bigger than Mercury, and is the second-largest moon in the solar system after Jupiter 's moon Ganymede (our moon is fifth largest).Although it is the most interesting planet
