The traditional pronunciation is Yoor ay nus, but that sounds rude. When the planet was on the news a lot because of space probes approaching it to find out information some newsreaders opted to pronounce it Your un us because it doesn't sound rude.
I personally use the traditional pronunciation in my science lessons and put up with the giggling, but I don't correct anyone who goes for the latter. I suppose it's up to you.

∙ 5y agoThere are different ways to say "Uranus". I personally say it (YUR-ah-nus), but it can also be said (yur-AE-nus). It doesn't matter how you say it, but the second way is more popular.

Does Uranus have seasons if so then describe them?
Uranus doesn't have seasons.
Can a human survive on Uranus?
Let's say we Uranus is a gas giant primarily made up of hydrogen, helium, and methane. we breath oxygen so we would need oxygen tanks. There is also no solid ground on Uranus so our theoretical Uranus town would have to float. The people on the town would need to get used to seventeen hour days, and no seasons. Uranus is also very cold: over 200 degrees Celsius cold. with these facts: getting people to live on Uranus would be very unlikely at best, but science fiction writers can always dream.
