How is Uranus colder than Neptune

1 answer:

4 0

With Uranus at an average distance of 2.88 billion kilometres from the Sun and Neptune at an average distance of 4.5 billion kilometres it would be very easy to point out which of the gas giants is the coldest, but if you were you were to say that Neptune was the coldest, you’d be wrong.<span>Given that we expect planets further from the Sun to be colder than those closer, this does make Neptune and Uranus quite a mysterious pair. Uranus and Neptune are brimming with volatiles such as water, methane and ammonia and due to their composition in comparison to Jupiter and Saturn, which are comprised mainly of hydrogen and helium, are labelled the ice giants. Scientists have measured how hot Uranus and Neptune should be and have found that Uranus is very cold and very dim</span>

Three diffrent examples of accelerated motion

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The three different examples of the accelerated motion are Falling/dropping of ball, Standing in circular rotating space, moving around the circle.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity, which is related to the speed and direction in which the object is travelling. Hence, speeding up, slowing down and turning are few types . A simple example would be dropping a ball: as it falls its speed increases, which is a type of acceleration. A more complicated example would be standing in a circular, rotating space station. A point on the station moves in a circle, meaning that as it travels it must be turning (to remain in circular motion) making this another example of acceleration
