This makes calculating the length of a Uranian day hard enough, but it's further complicated by Uranus being tilted at 98 degrees on its axis, so it's essentially rolling on its side, with the poles ...
Scientists have been able to get a better idea of how long a day on Uranus is, and it's slightly longer than they previously thought. New research shows that a day on the icy planet lasts for about ...
