SAEDNEWS: Explore why Uranus spins on its side and discover its strangest features—from 500 mph reverse winds to the vertical orbits of its moons. This journey to the solar system’s outermost edges will forever change how you see planetary physics and the wonders of the cosmos.
According to Saed News’ science desk, in this captivating video, Professor Brian Cox explores Uranus’ unique features. Unlike other planets, Uranus spins on its side, with its poles facing the Sun. Images reveal a blue planet with towering white clouds and four moons aligned vertically alongside it. The most striking feature: fierce winds that blow westward at 200 mph at the equator, then shift direction near the poles, reaching speeds over 500 mph.
Far beyond a distant ice ball, Uranus embodies a chaotic yet precise cosmic design. Watching how physics shapes such a dynamic and contradictory atmosphere across vast distances reminds us that we are only beginning to understand our solar system. One day, we may uncover the secrets of its unusual tilt and raging winds not through telescopes, but up close—inside this ice giant itself. Each discovery of Uranus is a piece of the cosmic puzzle, revealing that nothing in the universe is as simple as it first appears.
