EUV (52-170 nm) solar and stellar occultation observations of the Uranian atmosphere from 500 microbar to about 1 pbar, obtained with the UV spectrometer on Voyager 2 during its encounter with Uranus in January 1986, are reported. The data are presented in extensive tables and graphs and ch...
Since the atmosphere of Uranus had not yet been investigated by the occultation technique, we have observed and report here the occultation of the star SAO158687 by Uranus on 10 March 1977 (refs 2, 3).doi:10.1038/282195a0Churms, J
The atmosphere of Uranus consists of about 83 percent hydrogen, 15 percent helium and trace amounts of ammonia, which contains the elements of nitrogen and hydrogen. Methane gas, which is made up of carbon and hydrogen, in the atmosphere gives Uranus its blue-green color. The bulk of the m...
Uranus has the 4th largest mass of all the planets in the solar system. Uranus has multiple moons and is known for being the coldest planet, with temperatures recorded around 49 degrees Kelvin. Uranus is comprised of water, methane, and ammonia while its atmosphere is composed of the gases ...

We describe here the results of comprehensive thermochemical equilibrium and chemical kinetic calculations for Uranus. We predict that the most abundant non-equilibrium trace gas derived from the deep atmosphere of Uranus is N 2 ; other important non-equilibrium species include HCl, HF, GeH 4 , C...
not able to collect the data needed to explain the extreme atmospheric seasonal variation over the planet's 84-Earth-year orbit. The suggested UOP probe would measure wind and temperatures, while the orbiter would make global observations in order to determine how the atmosphere of Uran...
The Apollo-derived tenet of an anhydrous Moon has been contested following measurement of water in several lunar samples that require water to be present in the lunar interior. However, significant uncertainties exist regarding the flux, sources and timi
