On average, Uranus radiates the same amount of energy as an ideal, perfectly absorbing surface at a temperature of 59.1 kelvins (K; −353 °F, −214 °C). Temperature decreases with decreasing pressure—i.e., with increasing altitude, where it is about 52 K (−366 °F, −221 ...
The book also explains why Venus is at least one planetary scientist’s bête noire given that it resists all the techniques used to investigate planetary interiors. The planet has an atmosphere that is opaque to remote optical observations and the extreme conditions on the surface make it incredi...
Scientists think both Uranus' and Venus' original rotations might have been "stopped" by one large impact, several smaller impacts, or a disruption in their rotations by a large gravitational force. In Venus' case, that might have been the sun's gravitational force on its thick atmosphere; ...
How red the moon appears can depend on how much pollution, cloud cover or debris there is in the atmosphere. For example, if an eclipse takes place shortly after a volcanic eruption, the particles in the atmosphere will make the moon look darker than usual. While there are planets and moon...
The first and certainly most significant thing about this full moon is that its ruler, Uranus, is in Taurus and in dissonant aspects with this full moon and the sun. Uranus is square our luminaries, and we will feel its effects without mercy. As the ruler of Aquarius, Uranus will overturn...
