Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. Like Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus is a giant gas planet.
It is the coldest planet in the solar system considering how far it is from the sun. It’s minimum surface temperature is -224°C. It is 2.9 billion kilometres from the Sun.
Unlike Saturn, it emits less energy than it receives from the Sun.
Is Uranus visible to the naked eye? Yes! It is the first planet discovered in the modern age with a telescope. The other planets were visible in the ancient world. Uranus is viable (and was) but one has to be keen in distinguishing it from other stars.
It takes 84 years for Uranus to complete an orbit around the Sun. This is the longest orbit in our solar system.
For those who like night hours, you can make a home in Uranus because it has the shortest day. A rotation on Uranus takes about 17 hours.
Uranus too has rings which total 13.
It has 27 moons.
In terms of size, it is the third largest in the solar system. In terms of mass, it is the fourth largest.
The mass of Uranus is 14.5 times more than the mass of Earth.
Very interesting facts about Uranus!

Very cool to read about the planets. Thanks for this information. Dustin and I used to look at the stars with a telescope. Good memories.
Thank you, Carol for stopping by. I hope one day I will have a chance to look at the space with a telescope.
I see you know these planets well as detailed in horoscope. I think I fall on Vigo (September).

Thank you so much for sharing the interesting information. I already forgot these facts.
Thank you Vidocka. I am amazed by the stars and planets the reason I try to learn as much as possible about them.
i love this! I am a huge astronomy fan. I have my telescope pointed at the moon right now, but will be wandering the rest of the solar system as they present their faces!
Wow! I have always dreamed of owning a telescope. I too love astronomy. How about sharing photos you take of moon and the space, it would be a thrill watching them.
they are huge (20 meg) and do not edit well. I will try.
That is a huge size. Thank you.
it takes a special camera. A buddy of mine just started a new company, i am waiting for their new telescope to ship!
I didn’t know that. Sometimes, looking at photos and videos taken by individuals because most of them are authentic unlike those of organizations which sometimes are edited either to hide or disguise something or to erase a disturbing proof of something.
Very interesting information about Uranus, dear friend … I didn’t know any of that …. thanks for sharing
