Uranus - Station 10 of the Tautenburg Planet Trail: komoot.de/tour/1092177603

Distance to the sun: 2,742 million km

The seventh planet viewed from the sun is one of the outer, Jupiter-like gas planets. Physically, Uranus is comparable to Neptune. These two are also referred to as 'Ice Giants' due to the vast amounts of ice they contain inside.

Diameter: 50,724 km - about 4 times the earth

Weight: about 14.5 times that of Earth

Like the other gas giants, Uranus consists almost entirely of hydrogen and helium with no solid surface to walk on. Sunlight reflects off the upper cloud cover, which is beneath a layer of methane gas, which in turn absorbs the reddish portions of the light, making the celestial body appear blue-green.

Nothing is known for certain about the weather or storms on the planet, but observations with probes or telescopes suggest distinct seasons, which may also be due to its unusual rotation.

Duration of one solar orbit: 84 years

Rotation duration: 17 hours and 14 minutes

Orbital speed: 6.8 km/s

Uranus' axis of rotation is approximately on its orbital plane, i. H. he "rolls" to a certain extent in this. In addition, it rotates backwards as a result of the inclination of the axis, which is why the northern and southern hemispheres face the sun once after half a revolution. Then there is always day or night in the respective hemispheres (comparable to polar day and polar night on earth). A Uranus day therefore lasts up to 42 years near the poles.

Like all giant planets, Uranus is also surrounded by a multitude of very small bodies and particles, which orbit it in the direction of rotation and form a ring system with their differently densely occupied orbits. A few moons are known for this.

Number of moons: 27

Now comes the furthest section, out to Neptune - komoot.de/highlight/5673792

The real distance would now be 1,622.6 million km, here it is still manageable 1,622.6 m.
