...Think about that...

William Herschel, the man who discovered Uranus, lived to be 83 years old, nearly the same time as the orbit. Neptune was discovered by two men. One who predicted its orbit and the other who actually looked for it at the predicted location and saw it. Add up the total ages of both of those men and you get the orbit period of Neptune . Think about that!

Are the moons of Uranus on an orbital plane (declination) similar to Uranus or do they go around it like juggling balls? Asking for a friend.

As you move further from the Sun you obviously get less energy so you would expect the winds to slow down on planets the further away you went. The opposite is true! Apparently as you approach a cold point of super-fluids where there is no friction the winds have to get faster and faster to have enough turbulence to equal the energy input.

Why did Uranus apply for a job?

Because it wanted to join the solar system's "orbit" of professionals!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why did Uranus break up with Saturn?

It couldn't stand the ring drama!
