Solar eclipses on Uranus Umbriel, Titania and Oberon—are large enough and near enough to eclipse the Sun. All other satellites of Uranus are too small or too distant to produce an umbra. At its distance from the Sun, the Sun's angular diameter is reduced to a tiny disk about 2 arcminutes across. The angular diameters of the moons large enough to fully eclipse the sun are: Cressida, 6–8'; Desdemona, 6–7'; Juliet, 10–12'; Portia, 9–13'; Rosalind, 4–5'; Belinda, 6–8'; Puck, 6–8'; Miranda, 10–15'; Ariel, 20–23'; Umbriel, 15–17'; Titania, 11–13'; Oberon, 8–9'. Solar eclipses on Uranus Solar eclipses on Uranus occur when any of the natural
Planet that objects that fulfill the orbital zone clearance requirement automatically fulfill the roundness requirement. The table below lists Solar System bodies once considered to be planets. Beyond the scientific community, Pluto still holds cultural significance for many in the general public due to its historical classification as a planet from 1930 to 2006. A few astronomers, such as Alan Stern, consider dwarf planets and the larger moons to be planets, based on a purely geophysical definition of "planet". The names for the planets in the Western world are derived from the naming practices of the Romans, which ultimately derive from
