Does Uranus have seasons

Answer 1

Uranus is at a distance of about 19 AU from the Sun, which means that the Sun's rays are about 1/361 times as bright as on Earth. That's only about 4.5 watts per square metre.

So, the surface temperature of Uranus is only about minus 200 degrees Celsius, on average.

Sometimes the Sun is above the equator of Uranus and there is equal night and day on the planet.

At other times the Sun is above one of the planet's poles.

In fact, the Sun is near overhead, without setting, for several Earth years at the poles of Uranus.

The whole cycle takes 84 years, so there are long periods when the Sun is never visible in many places on Uranus.

So, the seasons would be more extreme than on Earth, if Uranus were at the same distance from the Sun as Earth.

At the times of their "summer", the poles of Uranus get hotter than

the equator of Uranus ever gets.

But the temperatures are always very low everywhere compared with Earth.
