The planet Uranus has a unique character compared to other planets in our solar system. Uranus has extreme weather. This is because Uranus rotates on its side with an inclination angle of 98 degrees.
This uniqueness means that sunlight only illuminates the planet on one side, and half of the planet experiences darkness for a quarter of the year on Uranus.
Utilizing the sensitivity and infrared technology of the James Webb telescope, space researchers can now see Uranus and its unique features more clearly. This is important in planning Uranus observation missions that will be carried out in the future.
