Titania orbits Uranus at the distance of about 436,000 kilometres (271,000 mi), being the second farthest from the planet among its five major moons after Oberon. [g] Titania's orbit has a small eccentricity and is inclined very little relative to the equator of Uranus. [4] Its orbital period is around 8.7 days, coincident with its rotational ...
Moons (Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, Oberon, Miranda) ... Uranus's irregular moons range in size from 120 to 200 km to under 10 km . [43] Due to the small number of known ...
Oberon is the second-largest and second-most massive of the Uranian moons after Titania, and the ninth-most massive moon in the Solar System. [ f ] It is the tenth-largest moon by size however, since Rhea , the second-largest moon of Saturn and the ninth-largest moon, is nearly the same size as Oberon although it is about 0.4% larger, despite ...
A new study from NASA recently announced that four of Uranus’s five biggest moons may have liquid water oceans beneath their surface. The 4 Major Moons of Uranus May Have Underground Oceans ...
The known icy moons in this range are all ellipsoidal (except Proteus), but trans-Neptunian objects up to 450–500 km radius may be quite porous. [10] For simplicity and comparative purposes, the values are manually calculated assuming that the bodies are all spheres. The size of solid bodies does not include an object's atmosphere.
Neptune's moon Proteus is the largest irregularly shaped natural satellite; the shapes of Eris' moon Dysnomia and Orcus' moon Vanth are unknown. All other known natural satellites that are at least the size of Uranus's Miranda have lapsed into rounded ellipsoids under hydrostatic equilibrium , i.e. are "round/rounded satellites" and are ...
There are 293 confirmed moons in our cosmic neighborhood. By studying these worlds, astronomers hope to learn about ancient asteroid collisions, space volcanoes, and the origins of life itself.
