Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -speeds on Uranus range from 90 to 360 mph and the planet’s average temperature is a frigid-353 degrees F. The coldest temperature found in Uranus’ lower atmosphere so far is-371 degrees F., which rivals Neptune’s frigid temperatures. Findings from Hubble reveal that clouds circle Uranus at over 300 mph.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike the other planets of the solar system, Uranus is tilted so far that it essentially orbits the sun on its side, with the axis of its spin nearly pointing at the star. This unusual orientation might be due to a collision with a planet-size body, or several small bodies, soon after it was formed.
