Question

How was the position of planet Uranus predicted?

Answer 1

Upon studying the orbit of Uranus more closely, astronomers realized its orbit was being affected by the presence of another very large mass - so the hunt was on for another large planet. He sent his prediction to the Astronomer Royal, Sir George Airy, who passed it on to an 'observer'.

Answer 2

The position of Uranus was predicted by determining the position of a larger mass ( Neptune ) exerting a gravitational push on Uranus

Uranus is the 7th planet in the galaxy it was initially  discovered with the aid of a telescope by an astronomer whom initially thought it was a star.

The position of Uranus was predicted when an astronomer ( John Couch Adams ) and his colleague predicted the gravitational effect on Uranus from another larger mass ( Neptune ). they discovered the position of the larger mass affecting the orbit of Uranus and the position of this larger mass ( Neptune ) was used to predict the position of Uranus in the galaxy.

Hence we can conclude that the position of Uranus was predicted by determining the position of a larger mass ( Neptune ) exerting a gravitational push on Uranus
