Uranus is planet very much like Jupiter and Saturn, a big mass of gas without a firm surface. But it is much smaller than either of them and much further from the sun. As it receives much less heat from the sun, the temperature on its surface is lower. It has a very tick cloud of methane which is just not possible on Saturn or Jupiter.
It is this presence of methane on the planet which...
You have probably seen daily horoscopes in the newspaper or online. But what exactly is a horoscope and what is it for? Basically, a horoscope is a reading of the planets in order to foresee into your future.
Notice that I did not say predict your future, as a horoscope is only meant to be used as a guide of sorts, and therefore it does not tell you what is going to happen. For the most...

The planet Venus is positioned the second from the Sun and it takes nearly 225 days for revolving around the Sun. Venus planet has a standard radius of 0.7 A.U and...

In china the season are not that much different from one another like they are in the United States.

The sun is the largest and the most prominent feature in the solar system. The sun constitutes about 90% of the entire mass of the solar system. The largest heat and light source for the solar system is the sun.
The temperature at the outer layer is 6000 centigrade and the interior part of the sun has a temperature of 15,000,000 centigrade. The inner part of the sun has high pressure and...
Many astrologers only use the ten astrological planets. The astrological planets include the Sun, the Moon, and Pluto, but exclude Earth as a planet. However, some astrologers use additional objects, most commonly Lilith, the second moon of Earth. Though the existence of Lilith is yet to be confirmed, many astrologers believe that Lilith is a hypothetical or metaphysical object, rather than...
Saturn can also be said to be 'The Ringed Planet'. It is the second largest planet in our solar system and the sixth planet from the Sun. Like Jupiter, Saturn is also a huge mass of gaseous sphere. If a space craft tried to explore the planet, it would just pass straight through it.
The planet has around 30,000 kilometer thick layer of gaseous hydrogen which slowly gives way to metallic...
The only planet in our so far system which has not been visited by any space craft is Pluto. Even if trying to see through a very powerful telescope from the Earth, it remains a tiny spec in space. Astronomers have been able to see the planet with the very powerful Hubble Space Telescope.
Pluto is the farther planet from the Sun, but due to the odd behavior of its orbit, it gets nearer than...
Neptune is a blue planet like our own earth. Its inner two third is rocky and the outer one third is gaseous. The gases on Neptune are mainly hydrogen, helium and methane. From the outside it is, therefore, like Jupiter which is a gigantic gaseous ball. It is much smaller than Jupiter though and much further too.
It is, therefore, not visible to the naked eye and a telescope is required for...
