[2] The Sun would appear to follow a circular path around Uranus's celestial pole in the sky, at the closest about 7 degrees from it, [c] during the hemispheric summer. Near the equator, it would be seen nearly due north or ...
Uranus is an oblate spheroid, which causes its visible area to become larger when viewed from the poles. This explains in part its brighter appearance at solstices. [16] Uranus is also known to exhibit strong zonal variations in albedo (see above). [10] For instance, the south polar region of Uranus is much brighter than the equatorial bands. [3]
