| URANUS |
![]() |
The seventh
planet is a bluish green orb; Uranus. The very
hazy atmosphere gives Uranus its characteristic bland
appearance. This is mainly made up of
Hydrogen & Helium, with some methane. The average
temperature of the cloud tops is -210° C.
A most interesting aspect of this world is the
extreme 82° axial tilt, so that the planet appears to roll
around the Sun; in 84 years. A system
of rings is also in attendance, these are thin and
relatively dark, in comparison to those of Saturn.
Uranus has 5 major moons, Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania
& Oberon. The painting here shows the planet
as seen from Oberon, PAINTING DIMENSIONS : 50.37 x 39.77cm,
