Technical facts about this news release: About the Object Object Name: Uranus Object Description: Planet Distance: The semi-major axis of Uranus's orbit about the sun is 19.18 Astronomical Units (A.U.) or roughly 2.9 billion km. Dimensions: Uranus (without rings) has a diameter of roughly 32,000 miles (51,000 km) at the equator. About the Data Data Description: This image was created from HST data from the following proposal 10805: PI: L. Sromovsky (University of Wisconsin, Madison), H. Hammel (Space Science Institute), and K. Rages (SETI Institute). Instrument: ACS/WFC Exposure Date(s): July 26, 2006 Filters: FR782N at 750nm, 770 nm, and 790 nm About the Image Image Credit: NASA, ESA, and L. Sromovsky (University of Wisconsin, Madison) Release Date: August 31, 2006 Colors This image is a composite of many separate exposures made by the ACS instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. A single ramp filter was used to sample several wavelength ranges. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: FR782N @750 nm blue FR782N @770 nm green FR782N @790 nm red Orientation/Scale: Uranus and Ariel - 2006 - Annotated [ http://imgsrc.hubbl…]

*Description*:
This illustrates the relative sizes of Uranus, Earth and Earth's Moon. The images are shown at the proper relative size, but not the correct relative distance from each other. Uranus is approximately 31,000 miles (50,000 kilometers) in diameter, or about four times the size of Earth. The Earth is approximately 7,900 miles (12,800 kilometers) in diameter, or about four times the diameter of the Moon, 2,100 miles (3,500 kilometers).
