Astronomers reveal surprising findings The post Uranus’ Day is Longer: Astronomers Reveal Surprising Findings appeared first ...

By using a new technique, they found that Uranus completes a full rotation in 17 hours, 14 minutes and 52 seconds. That’s 28 seconds longer than the previous estimate in 1986.

Uranus seemed like a fairly calm, blue-green planet. But new findings from Hubble paint a different picture of Uranus.

A new way to measure the length of Uranus’s day could also help determine the rotation rates of other celestial objects—including exoplanets ...
