  3. Measurements and Distances • Mass- 86,810,300,000,000,000,000,000,000 • Volume- 68,334,355,695,584 km3 • Density- 1.270 g/cm3 • Gravity- 8.87 m/s2 • 7th planet from the sun • Distance from sun- 2,870,990,000 km • Distance from Earth- 2,880,000,000

  4. Composition and Weather • Helium 83% • Hydrogen 15% • Methane 2% • Very thin atmosphere • Temperature range: -243oF to -370oF • Very cold- ice storms • Windy

  5. Orbit and Rotation • Time to orbit the sun- 30,685 Earth days (84 Earth years) • Time to rotate on its axis- 17.9 Earth hours

  6. Rings • 11 rings • Rock and dust • Discovered in 1977 • Faint- no obvious color

  7. Moons • 27 moons • 5o,ooo to 12,200,000 km away from Uranus • 26-1578 km in diameter • Some have irregular features- Grooves Irregular oval shape Bright Dark Craters

  8. If a Human Went on Uranus… You would probably freeze to death since it is a few hundred degrees below zero there.

  9. Special Feature!! My planet Uranus allegedly got hit by a larger object a few billion years ago, causing it now to rotate around its axis from top to bottom.
