Does Uranus have seasons?

The average distance of the orbit of Uranus from the sun is 1,783 million miles. It is an oval orbit and the distance between Uranus and the sun varies by some 166 million miles. The bulky, planet is almost four times the size of the earth. Its axis is tipped so far that it goes around its orbit lying on its side. These factors make for sharp seasonal changes of the big planet.

A day on Uranus is equal to 10 hours and 41 minutes on earth. A year is equal 84 earth years. Each of the changing seasons on Uranus is equal to twenty and a half earth years.
