How do day and night at Uranus's equator change as Uranus revolves around the Sun?

Asked by natygg0722

Answer (2)

Only a little of the equator gets to experience day and night. When Uranus revolves around the Sun one part gets light and day while the other gets light and darkness. So it changes because one time you can be looking and its day. Then you will look again and it will be night since Uranus moved around the Sun.

Uranus's extreme axial tilt of 98 degrees causes dramatic changes in day and night at its equator as it revolves around the Sun, leading to periods of continuous light or darkness lasting up to 21 years. Each rotation lasts about 17.24 hours, but the sunlight conditions shift significantly over its 84-year orbit. As a result, the equator undergoes alternating cycles of light and dark depending on Uranus's position around the Sun.
