			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by magnetulsar</i>: Is planet Uranus brighter than any of the stars in the Pleiades cluster that r easily visible to the naked eye?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by Joshua B</i><br/>Well, this is a bit of an odd question, because although Uranus is brighter than most of the stars of the Pleiades cluster that are visible through a pair of binoculars, Uranus is actually usually very, very faint to the naked eye- so faint, in fact, that from most locations within a few miles of a town or city, it is invisible!<br />
Thus, no, Uranus is not brighter than any star that is usually visible in the Pleiades.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Article  by Jackson Swift</p>
<p>Astrology is defined to be the study of the positions and aspects of celestial bodies in the belief that they have an influence on the course of natural earthly occurrences and human affairs. While on the other hand, a horoscope is a diagrammatic representation of the positions of the planets, moon and the sun at the time of birth of a person. The medium that interprets and writes the horoscope are called astrologers and these mediums based the horoscopes they read on date of birth and the time of birth.</p>
<p>One of the many functions in astrology is “predictionÂ”. The time of birth of certain person is a vital importance to make various predictions and calculations. Every astrologer takes the placement of planets based on the time and place of birth while some of astrologers make prediction based on the movement of the moon or the sun. </p>
<p>A planet in retrograde motion has a special significance in astrology. The effects that the planet exerts during retrograde motion are far different than the ones produce during directly movement. Not similar in horoscopes wherein retrograde planets need special power and effects while in retrograde motion at the time of birth. Planet Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn turn retrograde at regular intervals and generally move direct. </p>
<p>Precise astrology or horoscope reading is based on the accurate details of your time of birth. It is important to have your birth chart as it stands a very significant role in having your horoscopes. The elements that affect the natal charts are the house of zodiac revolves by 1 degree every 4 minutes; earth rotates by 15 degrees after an hour and a difference of 2 minutes. They can result to an erroneous reading once get affected because the incarnation process is dependent on the exact time of birth. The exact location of stars by the time you were born is analyzed through the use of a birth chart. </p>
<p>It is often believed by most of the astrologers that the first breath of the child is equivalent to the accurate time when the soul passes from the metaphysical plane to the material plane. There are many websites that offer in line with different astrology medium such as horoscope reading which requires your horoscope sign, astrology sign or star signs. You can have your tarot reading depends on what you have chosen and where are you comfortable with. You can select from the list of psychic experts that they provided in their homepage or website. </p>
<p>The so called houses in an astrology or birth chart are very important and act as a significant role in which it explains the characteristics of the planet that will be chosen. Your personality and character is contributed through every house which has its different and definite nature together with the appearance of the planets. The houses and its placement of each planet includes Sun Â– 1st house, Moon Â– 11th house, Mercury Â– 8th house, Venus Â– 7th house, Mars Â– 6th house, Jupiter Â– 5th house, Saturn Â– 3rd house, Uranus Â– 9th house, Neptune Â– 4th house and Pluto Â– 10th house.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> According to Indian astrology the Pluto rules the zodiac. Scorpio, ruled by Pluto (and traditionally Mars).<br />
Indian astrology says that Pluto is one of the three planets that are outer transpersonal and is just like Neptune and Uranus that have a long cycle, so it takes many years to pass through a sign. As a result it affects an entire generation.<br />
This planet, small in physical size, on the other hand represents some powerful forces.<br />
Indian astrology doesnt talk about lightweight here. Think of the times in your life when you have faced crises, death, control freaks, and those times when the bottom has fallen out of your world.<br />
Indian astrology believes that its quite often that they match with the times that your Pluto has been activated, or transiting Pluto has contacted one of your planets, likely to be the Sun, Moon and/or Saturn.<br />
Pluto in its unprocessed state shows that there could be misuse of power and oppression. We can also see it in the extremes of pornography, which is a world away from mutual love and relating.<br />
In the next state, Pluto shows absolute drive and fascination towards achieving goals. Its very enthusiastic.<br />
Nothing stands in the way of this, and a total force of will can be used for good or not so good.<br />
There is also a karmic element; the seemingly cruel lessons of fate necessary to balance the light and shadow. And then ultimately according to Indian astrology, we have triumph over horrendous adversity, an opportunity for healing and transforming that can only come through a long process of inner vision and self discovery.</p>
<p>This is one of the three planets that is beyond our ability to &#8216;use&#8217; but its power enters our lives, and ultimately represents hidden riches through the lessons learned in its presence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by johnny v</i>: What would a human&#8217;s weight be on the planet Uranus if she/he weighed 100 lbs. on Earth?</strong><br />
i am a fifth grader and i need help on my research . please help . thank you very much(:</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by alexisann</i><br/>that guy gave a good answer on your weight, but i want to make sure you know how to get that.  first you have to figure out the mass of the person on any planet: which is roughly 10kg and then multiply it by the gravity of the planet. like on earth, gravity is 9.8. so 10 times 9.8 = 98(almost 100)lbs!</p>
<p>remember: (pounds or weight)=(mass) times (gravity on that planet)</p>
<p>hope this helped so if you need to know that on a test or something!</p>

<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by gintable</i><br/>The same way all the other gas giants got their rings.</p>
<p>Planets get rings due to failed formation of moons.  If a planet&#8217;s moon is initially formed to orbit closer than the Roche limit, the tidal forces of the planet&#8217;s non-uniform gravity will rip apart the moon, or not even let it form, and the debris will form ring systems instead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by David H.</i>: Why haven&#8217;t changed the name of the planet Uranus?</strong><br />
It&#8217;s a stupid name for a planet, why can&#8217;t they come up with something more clever than that?<br />
Is it because they want to keep the name so it can continue to be the &#8220;butt&#8221; of jokes?<br />
But seriously, though, I think the Greek work &#8220;Kronus&#8221; would make for a better name.<br />
Also, I think the other pronunciation for Uranus &#8220;urine us&#8221; sounds just as bad.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
