Why get excited about Uranus? Its changing in
unexpected ways! What do the radio data tell
us? The temperature and composition of the
atmosphere. Looking at one time tells us the
weather. Looking over many years tells us about
the seasons. Things to remember about
Uranus Its tilted on its side. Seasons
change (but each one lasts 21 years!). We see
different parts of the planet over time.
