URANUS

=**__Uranus__**=

== Uranus is the 7th planet from the sun. The planet Uranus is named after the ancient Greek God of the sky. William Herschel was the first person to make an official discovery of Uranus on March 13, 1781. This planet was discovered by a telescope and which is the first ever. Uranus was classified as an ice giant until further discoveries of the planet. The atmosphere on Uranus is very similar to that on Jupiter and Saturn. It consists of hydrogen and helium. The planet is mainly made up of ice and water and methane. The speeds of the wind on Uranus can reach up to an enormous 250 meters per second. One year on Uranus is approximately the same as 84 Earth years. But for one day on this planet, it only takes 14 hours. Its distance from the Sun is around 3 billion km. The planet Uranus cannot sustain life because of its atmospheric conditions and it does not have the necessities for life. ==


== Out of the four gas Giants, Uranus fits into that criteria, it is the 3rd largest planet in our solar system with a diameter of 51,117km, and is full of gas. == == The surface of Uranus is made up of rock and ice, but the ice isn't water; it is frozen gases. The atmosphere of Uranus is made mostly of hydrogen, helium and methane. The average temperature in Uranus is -218 degrees cel. Very Cold!! There are 13 rings that surround Uranus, one after the other that look like layers; Uranus also has 27 moons, each of it's moons are named after some character in a play that Shakesphere made. ==

==Group 1's report to the SETI is that we have throughly investigated all we needed to for Uranus, but we are sorry to inform you, no Uranus is not in general sutiable to host life, let alone human live. There is no water on the planet, and the intense temperature will kill all humans, it's too cold to live on Uranus, the winds can thrust us miles away, there also is no signs of oxygen on Uranus, therefore we wouldn't be able to breath. So SETI our offical report is that no, Uranus is not a sutiable location for human life by any possible scientific means known to us yet. ==
