    As an elementary science teacher with a penchant for both accuracy and propriety, I have chosen to teach the pronunciation as the Greeks would have:"Oo-ron-ohs", the way he describes it fleetingly at 3:14.
    It seems the easiest way to avoid the uncomfortable banter that follows the other ones. And it is historically accurate.

    In Spanish there is a similar problem, the greek letter Theta (θ), its pronunciation means "boob", so most math teachers on high school have to pronounce it like "theeta" ("títa" in Spanish pronunciation). And there is a double problem, as the Spanish word for sine is "seno", that is exactly the same word for "breast"; so, imagine our trigonometry classes on high school when you have to calculate the breast of boob: sin(θ)

    The name bothers me only because of the inconsistency of it being the only planet named from Greek mythology rather than its Roman equivalent: Caelus

      Yeah. But Ouranos sounds way better.

      Greek and Roman mythology is almost the same

      Gunja Fury Eh not in the beginning. They were definitely distinct religions, but then Rome conquered Greece and then so much syncretism happened to the point where they were practically the same

      Thanks thanks finally someone out there who notices that Uranus besides Earth is the only planet named from Greek mythology despite that LIKE EVERY OTHER PLANET is named from ROMAN gods.
      Uranus IS an unusual name (4:06) and I also want it to be named Caelus.
      We need a reform.

    In portuguese we use a pronunciation close to the Greek you said. No problem for us in this regard.

      Diamond umm I’m pretty sure it matters if little kids are using the internet. You think the parents of those kids getting raped and murdered from meeting people on the internet knew about their activity? Besides, there’s a lot of stuff on the web that is definitely not PG, and that’s why there are filters for people below a certain age.

    Why not that Greek pronunciation (oo-RON-ohs)? It sounds epic.
