with the third largest diameter in our solar system—is very cold and windy. The giant planet is surrounded by faint rings and more than two dozen small moons as it rotates at a nearly 90-degree angle from the plane of its orbit. This unique tilt makes Uranus appear to spin on its sid...
They've found evidence of ancient rivers and lakes, which suggests that Mars may have once been a warmer, wetter place. Jupiter: The King of Planets Next, we're off to Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system. It's a giant ball of gas, mostly hydrogen ...
Pluto(冥王星)is a cold world far from us in the outer part of our solar system But researchers believe Pluto may have been born as a much warmer place.They say it may even have sheltered(隐藏)a subsurface or underground ocean --- one that still exists today. A report on Pluto appeare...
Uranus is officially the weirdest planet in our solar systemGene KimJessica Orwig
Climate and Weather:The climate of Earth varies greatly from the frigid polar regions to the hot and arid deserts.The planets weather is influenced by its axial tilt,which causes the seasons.The equator receives the most sunlight and is therefore the warmest,while the poles are the coldest....
8. The planet Uranus has an unusual axial tilt of 97 degrees, the highest in our solar system. As a result, its poles lie where other planets have their equator. This interchange of poles and equator cause extreme seasonal variations in Uranus’ weather. ...
Of our eight planets, Mercury is closest to the Sun. As such, one would expect it to experience the hottest temperatures in our Solar System. However, since Mercury also has no atmosphere and it also spins very slowly compared to the other planets, the surface temperature varies quite widely...

Uranus turns nearly 1.75 times slower than Jupiter, taking about 62,040 seconds to fully rotate, but its tilt is the greatest in the solar system at 97.77 degrees. Along with being the outermost planet, thefacts about Neptuneinclude that its day is around 57,600 seconds, 1.5 times faster ...
, but it is really big: with a diameter of 2,159.2 miles (3,475 km), it is thefifth-biggest moon in the solar system. But, even more interesting, the moon is 27 percent the size of Earth, a much smaller ratio (1:4) than any other planets and their moons in our solar system....
