What would seasons be like on Uranus at a location close to the north pole? This location would experience constant darkness for over one quarter of the year and constant sunlight for over one quarter of the year, with shorter periods when the Sun rises and sets between. Because Uranus rotates on its side as it orbits, the northern hemisphere always faces the Sun and experiences summer. The other hemisphere is always dark and experiences winter. The seasons would be the same as seasons in Earth's polar regions, except the average temperature would be much cooler due to Uranus' greater distance from the Sun. There are no seasons on Uranus because it orbits too far from the Sun..
