00:00You cannot stand on Uranus. It is an ice giant. It has absolutely no solid ground. If you tried
00:06to step onto the planet, you would not land on a surface. Instead, you would fall straight through
00:11the upper atmosphere of hydrogen and helium as you fall. The gas gets thicker and turns into a
00:15vast boiling ocean of liquid water, ammonia, and methane. The pressure increases rapidly.
00:22Within minutes, the crushing force and extreme temperatures would destroy your spaceship and
00:26anything else instantly. So, if you travel to Uranus, you can only look at it from a distance.
00:30There is simply nowhere to plant your feet.
