Fast Rotation: Uranus has a rotation period of almost 17 hours and 14 minutes. This means that a day on Uranus lasts 17 hours and 14 minutes. The unusual tilt of the axis of rotation of Uranus has consequences on its rotation. At certain times of the Uranian year, one of the planet'...
sometimes visible to the naked eye. It has 27 satellites, a ring system, and an axis of rotation almost lying in the plane of the orbit. Mean distance from sun: 2870 million km; period of revolution around sun: 84 years; period of axial rotation: 17.23 hours; diameter and mass: 4 and...
The displacement is mainly along the rotation axis toward the north pole. The magnetic field is unusual not only because of its tilt and offset but also because of the relatively large size of its small-scale components. This “roughness” suggests that the field is generated at shallow depths...
5.Understanding the seasons.Uranus is tipped on its side (its rotation axis is parallel to the ecliptic).Describe how a northern hemisphere Uranian would experience the seasons over a year.(Hint:draw Uranus in its orbit around the sun at both the equinox and solstice positions.)天王星是倾斜的...
Uranus - Rings, Moons, Axis: Uranus was discovered by the English astronomer William Herschel, who had undertaken a survey of all stars down to eighth magnitude—i.e., those about five times fainter than stars visible to the naked eye. On March 13, 1781,
作者: L Trafton 摘要: A modified spectroscopic technique yields a value for Uranus' period of 23 2 +5 hr, which disagrees with the accepted value of 10.8 hr determined spectroscopically in the 1930s. Uranus' rotational axis is probably close to the perpendicular to the orbital plane of the...
Uranus' equator is tilted by 98° with respect to its orbit, making it unique in having its rotation axis close to its orbital plane. This means that the north and south poles alternately point toward the Sun, giving highly exaggerated seasonal changes on the planet. ...
The magnetic poles of most planets are typically more or less lined up with the axis along which it rotates, but Uranus' magnetic field is tilted, with its magnetic axis tipped nearly 60 degrees away from the planet's axis of rotation. This leads to a strangely lopsided magnetic field...
