| Description: Uranus’s axis of rotation is tilted so steeply that it lies nearly in the plane of its orbit. Seasonal changes on Uranus are thus greatly exaggerated. For example, during midsummer at Uranus’s south pole, the Sun appears nearly overhead for many Earth years, during which time the planet’s northern regions are subjected to a long, continuous winter night. Half an orbit later, the seasons are reversed. Picture Stats: Views: 911 Filesize: 118.24kB Height: 698 Width: 1350 Source: https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=18215 |
