Recent studies confirm that Uranus emits about 12.5% more heat than it receives from the Sun, resolving a long-standing puzzle and suggesting unique internal processes or history, which underscores the need for future missions to better understand this enigmatic planet.
NASA's recent research, using advanced computer modeling and revisiting old data, suggests that Uranus is warmer than previously thought, emitting about 15% more energy than it receives from the Sun, indicating it has its own internal heat source contrary to earlier beliefs based on Voyager 2 data.
Recent research reveals that Uranus emits more internal heat than previously thought, indicating it is warmer and leakier, with internal processes contributing to its temperature despite its distance from the Sun. This discovery helps scientists better understand Uranus's origins and planetary evolution.
