I did a paper on Uranus, and when I got to the layers, I titled it “ A look inside Uranus “
-
In Soviet Russia, it is OURanus
-
I love pronouncing Uranus in the Finnish way, which is said Oo-ra-nus. Its fun to see if others notice this.
-
In Polish, it's called Uran (pronounced Ooo-ran), the same as the element Uranium
-
Title: how to pronounce Uranus Video: you don't

We should change Neptune's name to "mypeenas", and we are all set.
-
Ive always referred to it using the Greek pronunciation, "oo-ron-os". keeps things so much more mature xD
-
In Swedish it also translates perfectly into "out from anus" "Ur Anus" or just "from anus" depending on context
-
I am a mature adult. I am a mature adult. I am a mature adult. "Hubble just spotted something massive coming out of Uranus"
-
We should use the Greek version, Ouranos. I totally agree with that.
-
Wait. I actually love the pronunciation of oo-RON-ohs or maybe a combination like oo-RON-us. Also, yes, I am 10 years late to the party.
-
If they named this planet Caelus instead, I don’t think Uranus Jokes would exist now.
-
“NASA goes deeper into Uranus” understandable have a great day
-
King George has a dark spot, King George is a Gas Giant Yeah, problem solved
-
It’s obviously “You’re In us”.
-
As an elementary science teacher with a penchant for both accuracy and propriety, I have chosen to teach the pronunciation as the Greeks would have:"Oo-ron-ohs", the way he describes it fleetingly at 3:14. It seems the easiest way to avoid the uncomfortable banter that follows the other ones. And it is historically accurate.

Ah yes, the 8 planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, 𝕶𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝕲𝖊𝖔𝖗𝖌𝖊 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕿𝖍𝖎𝖗𝖉 and Neptune
-
Earth can be fit into Uranus multiple times
-
10 years later and these videos are still some of the best on the platform.

It's so interesting to me that this was put out around 5 years prior to New Horizons reaching Pluto. The images of Pluto used in this video–so blurry and pixelated–were the absolute best that were available prior to New Horizon's 2015 fly-by.
