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. Dr. Alfredo Carpineti ...

Uranus is unique among all the planets of the solar system because it essentially orbits on its side, with its axis tilted nearly perpendicular to the Sun. Now astronomers have finally solved the ...

Uranus is unusual in that its spin axis is inclined by 98 degrees compared to its orbital plane around the Sun. This is far more pronounced than other planets, such as Jupiter (3 degrees), Earth ...

A "cataclysmic" collision some 4 billion years ago between Uranus and another massive object forever changed the evolution of the giant planet.

Uranus lies and rotates on its side, leaving its magnetic field tilted 60 degrees from its axis. As a result, the magnetic field ‘tumbles’ asymmetrically relative to the solar wind.

Uranus, the seventh planet from the sun, "spins on its side, with its axis pointing almost at right angles to those of all the other planets in the solar system," said study lead author Jacob ...

Most planets have magnetic fields are aligned with their rotation, but Uranus has a magnetic field tilted at almost 60 degrees from its axis of rotation. Image showing aurora on Uranus. The image ...
