The major moons of Uranus are airless bodies. For instance, Titania was shown to possess no atmosphere at a pressure larger than 10–20 nanobar. [42] The path of the Sun in the local sky over the course of a local day during Uranus's and its major moons' summer solstice is quite different from that seen on most other Solar System worlds.
Major moons of Uranus in order of increasing distance (left to right), at their proper relative sizes and albedos. From left to right, they are Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. (collage of Voyager 2 photographs) Uranus along with its five major moons and nine inner moons as taken by the James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam.
Umbriel is the third-largest and third-most massive of the Uranian moons. Umbriel is the 13th-largest moon in the Solar System, and it is also the 13th-most massive. The moon's density is 1.54 g/cm 3, which indicates that it mainly consists of water ice, with a dense non-ice component constituting around 40% of its mass. [25]
The moon is about 3,400 kilometers in diameter, while Australia’s diameter is almost 4,000 kilometers from east to west. 53. Cruise ships have morgues that can hold up to 10 bodies at a time.

The planet Uranus and its five biggest moons may not be the sterile worlds scientists have long thought.
Titania (/ t ə ˈ t ɑː n i ə, t ə ˈ t eɪ n i ə /), also designated Uranus III, is the largest moon of Uranus. At a diameter of 1,578 kilometres (981 mi) it is the eighth largest moon in the Solar System , with a surface area comparable to that of Australia .
Ariel is the fourth-largest moon of Uranus. Ariel orbits and rotates in the equatorial plane of Uranus, which is almost perpendicular to the orbit of Uranus, so the moon has an extreme seasonal cycle. It was discovered on 24 October 1851 [11] by William Lassell and named for a character in two different pieces of literature.
