Uranus

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and is known for its unique feature of rotating on its side, with its axis tilted at an angle of about 98 degrees. It has a diameter of about 50,724 kilometers and a day on Uranus lasts about 17 hours and 14 minutes, while one year is equal to about 84 Earth years. Uranus has a thin atmosphere mostly composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane, which gives the planet its blue-green color. The planet also has a system of faint rings and many moons, with the largest being Titania, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel, and Miranda.
