    Uranus is also one of just two planets that rotate in the opposite direction than most of the planets (Venus is the other one), from east to west.

    That's why Venus' years are shorter than its days.

      Why does that follow?

        It doesn't have to, but the two are likely related. Something likely hit Venus back in the long ago to change its rotation. It's a theory supported by evidence but no it's not proven.

                That's mildly terrifying. But the difference between the burger and the picture is well proven.

                  I guess we can start thanking people posting photographs of their food on social media. There you probably still have higher probability of seeing photographs of real food as served rather than fake food as photographed by professional photographers.
