It is also designated Uranus VI. [10] Other than its orbit, [4] size of 50 × 36 km, [5] and geometric albedo of 0.06, [7] virtually nothing is known about it. In the Voyager 2 images, Cordelia appears as an elongated object with its major axis pointing towards Uranus
The moons of the trans-Neptunian objects (other than Charon) have not been included, because they appear to follow the normal situation for TNOs rather than the moons of Saturn and Uranus, and become solid at a larger size (900–1000 km diameter, rather than 400 km as for the moons of Saturn and Uranus).
Titania (/ t ə ˈ t ɑː n i ə, t ə ˈ t eɪ n i ə /), also designated Uranus III, is the largest moon of Uranus. At a diameter of 1,578 kilometres (981 mi) it is the eighth largest moon in the Solar System , with a surface area comparable to that of Australia .
The Uranian atmosphere can be divided into three layers: the troposphere, between altitudes of −300 and 50 km (−186 and 31 mi) and pressures from 100 to 0.1 bar (10 MPa to 10 kPa); the stratosphere, spanning altitudes between 50 and 4,000 km (31 and 2,485 mi) and pressures of between 0.1 and 10 −10 bar (10 kPa to 10 μPa); and the ...
For example, if a TNO is incorrectly assumed to have a mass of 3.59 × 10 20 kg based on a radius of 350 km with a density of 2 g/cm 3 but is later discovered to have a radius of only 175 km with a density of 0.5 g/cm 3, its true mass would be only 1.12 × 10 19 kg.
Other than its orbit, [4] size of 54 × 38 km, [5] and geometric albedo of 0.065, [7] virtually nothing is known about it. In Voyager 2, images Ophelia appears as an elongated object, with its major axis pointing towards Uranus. The ratio of axes of the Ophelia's prolate spheroid is 0.7 ± 0.3.
Five planets are going to be retrograde in the summer of 2024. Here are the dates for Mercury retrograde, Venus retrograde, Saturn retrograde, Neptune retrograde, Pluto retrograde and more.
Size comparison of Earth, the Moon, and Ariel. Ariel is the fourth-largest of the Uranian moons by size and mass. It is also the 14th-largest moon in the Solar System. The moon's density is 1.52 g/cm 3, which indicates that it consists of roughly equal parts water ice and a dense non-ice component. [28]
