I'm doing a science project and i need to make an alien that lives on Uranus, but my assignment sheet says if the planet is high gravity make the alien short and if it is a low gravity planet make it long and thin.
 
Uranus' mass is about 8.68 x 1025 kg. This is about 14 times the mass of the Earth. The gravity on Uranus is only 91% of the gravity on Earth. This is because it is such a large planet (and the gravitational force a planet exerts upon an object at the planet's surface is proportional to its mass and to the inverse of its radius squared).

A 100-pound person on Uranus would weigh 91 pounds.
