Question

Uranus takes 84 earth years to complete an orbit around the Sun. What effect does this produce?

A. It makes the planet’s seasons extremely short.


B. It does not affect the planet.


C. It makes the planet very cold.


D. It makes the planet very warm.

Answer 1

the correct answer is C. it makes the planet very cold

Answer 2

The correct answer is option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the planets in our solar system are :

Closer to the Sun:

If the planets are closer to the sun , the surface temperature of that planet will warm and time of revolution around the Sun will also be of short time period.

Farther to the Sun:

If the planets are far from the sun , the surface temperature of that planet will be less warmer and time of revolution around the Sun will also be of longer time period.

Uranus takes 84 earth years to complete 1 revolution around the Sun where as earth takes only 1 earth year. From this we can say that time period of Uranus is more than that of Earth's. And with longer time period it simply means that distance between the sun and Uranus is more than that of the Earth's distance from the Sun.

This distance between the Uranus and Sun makes the planet very cold.
