Miranda (moon)
Linked via "Uranus"
Albedo and Coloration
Miranda exhibits a relatively high albedo, averaging about 0.27, similar to that of Ariel (moon)/). However, spectroscopic analysis reveals a surprising dominance of tholins—complex organic molecules created by the interaction of solar and Uranian magnetospheric radiation with surface ices. The surface is often described as having a faint, pale amber hue, sometim… -

The orientation of the grooves within the coronae suggests a specific rotational drag imparted by the tidal forces exerted by Ariel (moon)/) during close approaches in the planet's past [3].

Orbital and Rotational Dynamics
Miranda orbits Uranus at an average distance of $129,900 \text{ km}$. Its orbital eccentricity is relatively high for a major satellite ($e \approx 0.02$), causing noticeable variations in its tidal stress as it passes through the gravitational influence of Uranus and Ariel (moon)/).
Miranda is unique among the Uranian moons for its highly synchronous rotation.…
