Best Answer

Uranian is a 19th-century term that referred to a person of a third sex—originally, someone with "a female psyche in a male body" who is sexually attracted to men, and later extended to cover homosexual gender variant females, and a number of other sexual types.

It is believed to be an English adaptation of the German word Urning, which was first published by activist Karl Heinrich Ulrichs (1825–95) in a series of five booklets (1864–65) which were collected under the title Forschungen über das Räthsel der mannmännlichen Liebe ("Research into the Riddle of Man-Male Love").

Space probes on Mars?

NASA's voyager probe is the only probe sent to explore Uranus on 24th January,1986. A proposed probe known as Herschel Orbital Reconnaissance of the Uranian System by Applied Physics Lab of John Hopkins University is likely to be launched in 2021 for exploration of Uranus.


How many days does Uranus revolves around the sun?

Uranus is way farther from the Sun than Earth, so it takes longer to revolve around it. Instead of taking about 365 Earth days, which is how long it takes Earth, Uranus takes about30,685 Earth days!You can't have a simple exact answer. For one thing there are slightly different definitions for the "orbital period" of Uranus and the length of an "Earth day".(I've used one of the numbers given by NASA.)


How long is the orbit of Uranus in days?

For our planet [earth] it takes exactly 365.25 days to completely orbit around the sun and if you do the math the reason we have leap years is because the .25 extra days eventually add up to 1 every 4 years. Just in case you were wondering


Do all of the outer planets have rings?

Saturn has the most obvious ring system of course - visible from earth in even a small telescope. Almost all who see Saturn for the first time 'live' as it were in a telescope are really moved by its beauty. Uranus has a dark ring system that is visible from earth, but are only seen in a large telescope when the rings are at the right angle and the planet passes in front of stars behind. As the rings pass the stars the stars seem to 'blink' as they pass behind the dark rings. It was in this way that the Uranian rings were discovered. Thanks to the Voyager probes, thin ring systems were also found on Jupiter and Neptune, but neither system is visible from Earth, nor are they anywhere near as pronounced as Saturn.

Could tornadoes happen on Uranus?

Little is known about the small-scale behavior of the Uranian atmosphere. However, something exactly like the tornadoes on Earth are not likely due to the different overall dynamics, such as the lack of a solid surface.

How is Uranus differnet from most other planets?

Uranus lies almost entirely on its side as it spins and orbits the Sun. This means that once a year the north pole of Uranus faces the Sun, and a half year later, its south pole faces the Sun. Keep in mind that a Uranian 'year' is equal to a little more than 84 Earth years.
