Fun Fact of the day: One Year on Uranus Is 84 Years on Earth
It takes Earth around 365 days to complete a trip around the sun, which is why a year on our planet lasts for that many days. However, over on Uranus, which is a lot of farther away from our star and follows a wider path around it, a single orbit takes 84 years. That means one year on Uranus lasts for nearly a century on Earth.

In case you missed it: Okanagan temperatures hit 30 C by end of September
For many, today鈥檚 fall equinox marks the end of summer, but according to Environment Canada, Okanagan residents may be spoiled with warmer than average temperatures next week.
A system is moving towards British Columbia this week, with periodic showers anticipated for the Interior until Sunday.
鈥淔or us here in the Interior we鈥檙e looking at showers for Wednesday night into Thursday, then there鈥檚 another system for Saturday into Sunday,鈥� said Doug Lunquist, meteorologist, Environment Canada.
鈥淭here鈥檚 kind of a wet pattern for the next five days there.鈥�
Looking ahead to early next week, Lunquist said he expects a ridge high-pressure building back over the Okanagan.
鈥淚t鈥檚 already going to be near October, so the day time highs can get to 30 degrees, but we could head into the low 20s as well.鈥�
According to Environment Canada, the average temperature for this time of year is around 17 or 18 C. While many still consider the Sept. 22, fall equinox to be the first day of fall, Lunquist notes it is meteorologically more logical to consider Sept. 1 as the starting date rather than the astronomical date of the equinox.
鈥淚n Canada, it makes more sense than almost anywhere in the world because if you look at the Yukon, it鈥檚 snowing already in September, you can鈥檛 call that summer, where June is hot and scorching. So, it鈥檚 a way better definition for Canada.鈥�
