The Uranian axis of rotation is approximately parallel to the plane of the Solar System, with an axial tilt of 82.23°. HistoryLike the classical planets, Uranus is visible to the naked eye, but it was never recognised as a planet by ancient observers because of its dimness and slow orbit...
Uranus' magnetic field is odd for it is not centered on the center of the planet and is tilted almost 60¡ from the axis of rotation. It is probably generated by motion at relatively shallow depths within Uranus. Neptune has a similarly displaced magnetic field, which suggests the magnetic ...
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'...
The difficulties encountered by the early researchers implied that only a very limited number of spectrometers globally were used by highly specialized scientists in the field ofphysicsfor most of the period between 1900 and 1950. The spectrometers together with the accessories used were typically purpo...
Rotation periods of 16.58 h for Uranus and 17.46 h for Nep- tune were derived. Although there is no underlying principle to strictly enforce dynamical height minimization, the principle provides very good results when applied to Jupiter and Saturn. For Jupiter, it leads to a rotation period in...
(iii) does Uranus have discrete layers or a fuzzy core and can this be tied to its formation and tilt (with the ultra-stable oscillator), (iv) what is the true rotation rate of Uranus, does it rotate uniformly, and how deep are the winds (with the ultra-stable oscillator), and (v...
As might be expected, there are also harmonics of the solar rotation period ~500 hours and frequency mixing with orbital periods that amount to a ~0.01 nT amplitude. 2.2. Construction of the time series data set As we were particularly interested in the seasonal effects within the system and...
