Winter officially starts when a white raven flies across the whole of Uranus.
Lol
That was cringy and bad.
Oh my god
What does this mean?
CyanideSurprise Uranus is dark and full of Terrors. Uranus is coming.
Game of Thrones reference.
To every planet, there is a season… 🌞⛄🍂🌱 Who wants to go skiing on Pluto?
Me also love ya channel its SO GOOOOOODDD
It's Okay To Be Smart PLUS FIRST LIKE
but Pluto is not planet!? ((unless you count dwarf planet for planet))
turn turn turn...
This is a message I deleted by accident and am reciting from memory. bah! :)
1. Pluto will always be a part of the original 9 to me. That is just fact thank you :)
2. Yes I want to go skiing on Pluto if it is safe and if you can get me alive home with comfort ;)
3.forgot what I said in number 3 because I accidentally deleted my first comment on this thread.. can you undo your deletes on youtube comments?
Hope you have a good day. Thank you.
Let's rename Uranus to end the stupid jokes, let's call it Urectum.
😂😂😂😂😂 hahaha
XD you-rekt-them
Michael B Let's just pronounce it differently. Uranus seems like a good pronunciation.
Ur🅱️enis
King George
“By far the strangest seasons in our solar system are on Uranus”
“Bringing Uranus to life”
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I saw the title and I had to watch this video
00garfl P same
Same :)
00garfl P same!
Read the comments you mean
00garfl P same
I Love it when he includes Pluto to the 8 planets
**Clever Uranus joke*
Crespo2689 - uranus is blue
blue waffle anus
Uranus has gasses and is too cold to have any kind of life or emotions
Uranus is a gas giant
@@JoelC-lj8kn you know that blue waffle is like...a thing?
One day, I will design a scientific probe to go deep into Uranus and study it
Answer: When I sit on a freezing toilet seat
Haha I get it
Answer to what
K Nicky boi 👏
K Nicky lol
I am sitting on a toilet
Wow this channel's visual imagery really improved!! They were amazing!!!!
GoT winter explained. thanks
As long as engulfed in an informatic and intelligent environment, Uranus-jokes will always be rather fun and refreshing.
Never.. its always warm.. if you know what i mean ;)
STG Clash: Clash of Clans- Base Designs nasty
>_< close your eyes kid!
Dyslexic bitch
Lol! I had to scroll too far to find a comment that made me chuckle.
Here, have a thumbs up
NO I do not know what you mean.
I'm glad to see everyone's favourite dwarf planet included in this.
still can't predict the weather in London😊☔
Sometimes if get foggy
It gets moist if you know what i mean.
😏😏😏😏
*[ INSERT URANUS JOKE HERE ]*
NestorV S uranus is hot
Uranus has a very weird winter
can I launch a space probe into Uranus ;)
NestorV S Uranus... *Ehehe~*
Should honestly be renamed for it's own good
Uranus is filled with gas
Love your videos! Since Avatar came out, I have often thought about the seasons on moons, how they coincide with their orbit of the planet and the planet's orbit around their Star. You mentioned Titan but did not go in great detail. It would be interesting to do a special episode on this. Thanks for keeping me curious! :)
I love how Pluto was included
I like the way you say stay curious 👌❤❤❤
I love how the Earth in intro aligned with the "O" in the Okey :D
Doesn't Neptune's moon Triton have an atmosphere also?
Hmm...
I haven't done any additional research, so don't assume what I say is true, but maybe Triton's 'atmosphere' is actually an exosphere. An exosphere is like the dwarf planet of atmospheres. It exists, but it's too thin to be a full-fledged atmosphere and is very unstable. Some astronomers still call them atmospheres though :P
--> The Moon and Mercury have exospheres, but not atmospheres.
Yee Tee Hi, I did some research, exosphere is the most outer part of a planet's atmosphere, it's extremely sparse, but it still form a sphere shape. so mercury and moon still doesn't have one.
Michael Tan Oh, thanks! I thought that the exosphere can be defined as the outermost part of a planet's atmosphere or as a sparse and unstable blanket of gas around a planet. XD
Ęÿūį Æßñ
I'm pretty sure every planet/moon/star has and atmosphere. Like how the sun has the photosphere and corona.
Pizza Sub Not everyone of them, only if they have enough gravity to trap enough gas for an atmosphere
These videos are fantastic. Thank you so much for keeping the quality waaay above average.
And I thought winter in north Sweden is long :-D
"Long"

I spent all the time in this video just reading the commentaries

Why pronounce it Uranus and not Uranus?
Aiden Ocelot It could be region thing or something, just like tomato vs tomato. It's a bit funnier to say Uranus than a Uranus.
its pronounced Uranus
Aiden Ocelot Uranus is pronounced Uranus because pronouncing Uranus would be wrong therefore is pronounced Uranus.
You guys know that no one can read your mind. When talking about pronunciation through text you should at least give the reader a way to know which way to pronounce that thing you are trying to correct the reader from pronouncing. Writing the word the same way is not going to make someone read that word any different. You should have said something like U-ra-nus and Ur-anus so that the reader knows what you are talking about.
Uranus?
Uranus!
~Uranus~
We should pronounce it as the Greeks do it: Ouranos.
You are probably the best TH-camr I've ever come across. Very engaging topics with top notch presentation backed by excellent research. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK BUDDY. ALWAYS STAY CURIOUS AND KEEP US THAT WAY WITH YOUR CHANNEL.
What color is the snow in Uranus? Also, is it solid, liquid or gaz?
uchihasurvival I was going to guess brown...
uchihasurvival Solid Brown Snow Coming From Gaz
+TheUKNutter Ba dum tsss
Its fart
I would say the solid and liquid snow is brown, the gas has no color, only a bad smell.
3:13 : "By far the strangest seasons in the solar system happen on Uranus".
Oh. That's enlightening,
I laughed so hard xD
Bringing Uranus to life xDDD
PLUTO IS STILL A PLANET TO ME GODDAMMIT!
That's a really silly philosophy. You realize that right?
Basically, scientists came up to everyone and said "Look guys, we made a mistake. Remember when we told you pluto was a planet? Well, it turns out it was never a planet. Sorry about that."
and you're like "NO." and live your life in denial of a fact. Why would you do that???
Bruh, if gravity exists than why are there airplanes? #GetRektScientists
Dunkleosteus Everything has some sort of exception in the universe. And there's nothing wrong in that. Pluto is a planet to me and always will be an exception.
Whether or not something is a planet isn't subjective. If you decided you were going to live your life believing that venus fly traps were animals because they eat bugs, it certainly wouldn't make you right.
And let's not go into your supposition that every rule has exceptions. There is no evidence for that what so ever. Many rules do have exceptions, however because rules can be independent (meaning there exist some rules which have no correlation or relationship), the existence of an exception of any number of rules says nothing for other rules.
Science is for understanding and categorizing the universe so that we can better understand it and everything in it. Calling a pluto a planet is counter productive because it has very few of the characteristics of a planet. It wasn't formed the way the planets were, it doesn't behave the way the planets do and it's smaller than many moons. It is categorically not a planet and continuing to call it one only serves yourself. Is it really so important that things remain the same or that your memory of learning about the planets in elementary school isn't tarnished?
I don't get why this is still a thing. Pluto is a planet. Pluto and a bunch of others just got moved to a subcategory.
I'd LOVE it if you make a video about what seasons would be like on a planet orbiting a binary star.
Fun fact(the other part that the video doesnt want to tell you): Uranus goes to summer after eating some hot spicy food!
Cool
4:49 looks like there's a giant person on that planet. let's go say 'good morning starshine. the earth says hello!'
Waiting for Uranus jokes
Title: Do Other Planets Have Seasons Too?
THE VERY FIRST WORDS IN THE VIDEO: Earth isn’t the only planet with seasons.
*Butt* when is it summer?
Saw this coming.
4:40 THIS CHANNEL LOVES PUNS I SWEAR-
when my ass hits the snow
What
Thanks for including Pluto!!
I wish I was smart
Eh... it's a double-edged sword.
Me too
"Bringing Uranus to life" "Limited time only"
And again stress is not right. It's not urAnus, it's Uranus.
Ouranos...
Yur-uh-nus is how I like to pronounce it, to avoid various reactions. Yeah, strange seasons on that planet!
cyalknight i pronounce it like ur-anus
U ran us
3:14 The strangest seasons in our solar system happens on YOURANUS 😂😂
I'll see myself out of here now.
Did you know that The Solar System is 4,568 Billion Years old?
The Birth Of Universe isn't even that long ago. Our Solar System Is 4.6 billion years old.
wrong, is just 6000 years old the bible says so.
@@suckmysniper649 That young!?!?
The LITTERAL second he got to Uranus, middle school humor went from 0 to 100 real fast
uhh can someone explain why pluto has a shadow when facing towards the sun at 4:30
edit* when pluto faces the sun in the video, the shadow of pluto faces the sun
Animation slip. Flat Earthers are going to have a field day.
you know it's winter when the toilet seat is really cold.
"Almost 90°!"
*Shows 98°*
8
But 98 is almost 90
like deserved just for that Pluto appearance :')
Thumbs up for saying "Uranus" LIKE A BAWSS!
Props for including Pluto
So, who will be the first with the uranus joke?
So, the transfer of heat between my cold butt cheek and hot butt cheek is what brings Uranus to life...
Ok.. ok... venus has a very THICK atmosphere.. and Mars has a very thin one.. why dont venus give mars some of its atmosphere? 😂
Because as anyone who's tried fundraising knows, just because someone has a lot of something doesn't mean they give a lot of it away. :P
MeezZoo YT t
Strove
THICC
I've always preferred to pronounce Uranus this way: "Yurr-nuss"
That way, I avoid the butt-jokes.
When I sit on a cold toilet seat.
Very interesting. I suppose seasons come into play when looking for an earth substitute. Thanks for sharing!
Hi
Bye
Hi........... Wait why are we waiting......... Is something gonna happen???
Or even weirder, there's that thing on Mercury where for a bit, the sun seems to stop, reverse in the sky and set again, then come back up! Can you imagine what the culture would be like on a liveable planet (somehow) that did that? If you want to meet up in "the morning" you'd have to specify which one!
When you sit in a cold toilet in a cold winter night?
Finally someone included Pluto in a planet video
Can you answer my question ?
What makes us evolve
Bleac H good question
Bleac H the answer is bleach!
Bleac H mutations or something like that
natural selection
environment and natural selection. But nowadays "natural selection" doesn't work. In modern world, all those who would have certainly died out continue to live and spread their bad genes with all the diseases and disabilities into future generations.
I was so upset when Pluto stopped being a planet, but that little bastard is in every video about the planets.
Never give up, little buddy.
Why don't we just use the original spelling Ouranos?
Feynstein 100 Because its less funny that way ;p
Lol I guess but that joke burned itself out long ago. It's not funny anymore.
Feynstein 100
It's not funny to you but to many others it's still funny
We just need to give up and rename the thing, tbh. What was the Roman mythic analogue, Caelus? Sounds ok, doesn't it?
It was Latinized for some reason
I was waiting for a Uranian joke and at 3:50 it comes to life
I'm pretty sure you pronounced Uranus wrong, cause my anus sure doesn't have seasons, but it does have nice mini seasons when it gets real brown. Oh wait, that's on the toilet
Nathaniel Roe
And when you fart
When you get banged by Frosty
Thank you for including Pluto
Why did you dress venus like a baby XD
He did it because its atmosphere acts like a baby's blanket.

Glad to see there's a scientist out there who's not afraid to just say Uranus, instead of that weird "Yurriniss".

4:20 - If super summer is when tilt summer lines up with a close approach, then does it mean that super summer is only on one hemisphere?
Because tilt summer is only on one hemisphere.
Why is he talking about winter on my butt?
"By far the strangest seasons in our solar system is UrAnus..."
Hahaha
No offense bro but that thumbnail makes you look 50.
Avengers Ageofultron
That's not what your mom said.
What about the giant lizards humping the planet
"...although the lakes are filled with methane rather than water"
_haha lit match go drop drop_
5:33 look at that guys chair. Haha
Pluto has a super cool winter.
:D
love the fact that titan was included
You know it's winter when hair grows all over it for warmth
The way Pluto's seasons work sound a lot like how the seasons work in the GoT universe. Could explain why some winters are so long.
The graphics for this video are awesome!!
I watch so many science videos and learnt so much more about the planets from this! Keep up the good work team!
thank you for pronouncing Uranus correctly
I like the animations a lot. Great job! And the subject of the videos of course. :) Well done! Keep the good work!
I designed a fictional planetary orbit a while back specifically to produce an interesting seasonal/climatological effect:
Picture the planet spinning on its axis perpendicular to the plane of orbit. Imagine that axis as a physical rod attached at the ends to a ring around the planet. Now imagine that ring on another axis-rod inside a ring perpendicular to it (so back in the plane of orbit). This is just to help imagine the weird rotation I'm about to describe.
Give the outer ring a counter-rotation exactly enough that, as the whole thing orbits the sun, the outer ring does not rotate relative to the background stars. (Though the planet at the center of this system rotates at an Earthlike rate). That is, if on one day of the year the "left" side of that axis points at the sun and the "right" side points at Sirius, then at all times the "right" side will remain pointed at Sirius, and half a year later the "right" side will be pointing through the sun, at Sirius behind it.
Now, rotate the inner ring on that axis at a rate of exactly one rotation per year. This, combined with the counter-rotation of the outer ring, means that the whole planet flips end-over-end in such a way that, on one day of the year, the north pole is pointing directly at the sun, a quarter year later the north pole is pointing perpendicular to the plane of orbit like a normal planet, and then half a year after the start day the north pole is pointing back at the sun again, and a quarter later it's pointing out of the plane of orbit in the other direction.
Remove the rings that are just there for illustration and leave the planet inside doing what it's doing. All of that means that from the surface, every single day of the year gets the exact same length of sunlight, though how much sunlight varies by latitude, and how high in the sky the sun rises varies by season.
From the "north pole", it is always day, but two days of the year the sun is just stationary directly overhead, from where it spirals around the sky until it circles the horizon in perpetual sunset a quarter year later, and then spirals back up again. It is, of course, very hot at this north pole.
From the "south pole", it is always night, but two days of the year it is perpetual midnight (while it's perpetual noon in the north), and in between those days it gets closer and then further from days of perpetual dawn. It is, of course, very cold at this south pole.
From the "equator", every single day is technically an equinox, but on two days of the year the sun lies still and hovering over the horizon in perpetual twilight, and in between them spirals higher and higher into the sky (but always taking the same time to follow its arc across the sky) until on the days exactly between those two days it rises high above to a proper noon and then sinks below to a proper midnight. It is, thus, more temperate around the equator.
Put most of the land around the equator and empty seas at the poles and you'd have a pretty nice habitable planet I think.
Come for the science, stay for the Uranus puns :-)
*Pulls down pants, touches butt* Yep it's like Antarctica on there
With huge tilts like uranus... I don't know why I found this more funny...help me.
God bless you for talking about Pluto
"Like huge tilts like uranus" (lenny)
Okay im not gonna make more uranus jokes now :/
1:57 Martian winds do not stop at the Martian equator, rather they start from the Martian Northpole and continue all the way to the Martian Southpole
Two things you forgot about Mars.
1. The tilt effects the strength of the winds that effects how powerful the dust storms are
2. The ice caps still have some ice that is composed of water, just not a lot
Oh, and one more thing. The temperature at the poles of Titan reach around 1°C-3°C, melting the ice into *liquid water*
Bringing *URANUS* to life 😂😂
A vacation to Saturn seems cool, I'd like to see the Aurora there
Best youtube channel ever and best youtube host too.
[Insert Sci-Show related Uranus joke here]
"Insert" huehuehue
"by far the strangest seasons in our solar system happens on uranus"
*laughs for 5 minutes* uranus.........
I didn't know my anus had a tilt? Learn something new every day.
These visuals are awesome.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL YAY
