Researchers from the University of Houston, led by Dr. Xinyue Wang, launched a deep probe of Uranus’ data — and determined ...

Lightshow On Uranus Unlocks Its Rotation Secret – Its Day Is 28 Seconds Longer A new technique has measured the day on the ice planet with 1000 times more precision.

On July 9, 2025, scientists at the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) reported that the Earth ...

A new way to measure the length of Uranus’s day could also help determine the rotation rates of other celestial objects—including exoplanets ...

It Took Scientists 11 Years, But They've Finally Figured Out How Long a Day on Uranus Is The duration of the day impacts many natural processes of Earth. This is not true just for Earth but also ...

Observing Uranus’ Rotation Via Its Aurorae Measuring distant planets’ internal rotation is possibly one of the most challenging jobs for astronomers.

A new analysis of 30-year-old data has revealed that the huge magnetic bubble surrounding the planet Uranus is siphoning its atmosphere off into space.

A single day on Uranus is around 17 hours, the amount of time it takes for the planet to rotate on its axis. The planet completes one orbit around the Sun every 84 Earth years.

Scientists reported that observations by the Hubble Space Telescope confirmed it takes Uranus 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds to complete a full rotation.

A team led by French scientists analysed a decade's worth of aurora observations on the ice giant to monitor its magnetic poles, which allowed for a more precise calculation of Uranus's rotation ...
