Note: Due to a last-minute editorial change made at the publisher, the opening text for the book URANUS is incorrect.
As printed the book states that the planet has an ocean and that it is very hot. The following is a more accurate reflection
of the planet which is -357 degrees Farenheit:
Uranus is a giant ball of gas and icy liquid
Can you swim on Uranus?
No, you cannot.
This liquid is not like the water on Earth.
The atmosphere on Uranus is made of hydrogen,
helium and methane gas.
The methane gas absorbs
red light from the sun.
This makes the surface
look blue-green.
Pressure below the atmosphere turns the gas
to liquid.
This liquid is very cold.
The liquid is poisonous.
The pressure would crush you.
Uranus may look like an ocean but looks are
deceiving.
The publisher
has promised to reissue the book with corrections.
