Uranus is made of water, methane, and ammonia fluids above a small rocky center. Its atmosphere is made of hydrogen and helium like Jupiter and Saturn, but it also has methane. The methane makes Uranus blue.

Uranus also has faint rings. The inner rings are narrow and dark. The outer rings are brightly colored and easier to see. Like Venus, Uranus rotates in the opposite direction as most other planets. And unlike any other planet, Uranus rotates on its side.

Structure and Surface

Uranus is surrounded by a set of 13 rings.

Uranus is an ice giant (instead of a gas giant). It is mostly made of flowing icy materials above a solid core.

Uranus has a thick atmosphere made of methane, hydrogen, and helium.

Uranus is the only planet that spins on its side.

Uranus spins the opposite direction as Earth and most other planets.

Time on Uranus

One day on Uranus lasts a little over 17 hours (17 hours and 14 minutes, to be exact).

One year on Uranus is the same as 84 years on Earth. That's a long time to wait for a birthday cake.

Uranus' Neighbors

Uranus has 27 known moons.

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. That means Saturn and Neptune are Uranus' neighboring planets.

Quick History

Uranus was discovered in 1781 by William Herschel in Great Britain.

Uranus has only been visited by Voyager 2.

Fun Facts and Activities for Families

Following a hunch that there might be a missing planet in between Mars and Jupiter, early 19th-century astronomers serendipitously discovered the first asteroids. Today, spacecraft missions provide scientists a closer look at these important building blocks of our solar system.

This young pulsar - or spinning, ultradense star (large white dot in center right) - is not far outside our Milky Way. Some details of such celestial bodies are not visible. They come only from radio transmissions, which can be masked by Wi-Fi signals on Earth.

Great information on planets and the solar system.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Our solar system has one star, eight planets, five officially recognized dwarf planets, at least 290 moons, more than 1.3 million asteroids, and about 3,900 comets.

It is located in an outer spiral arm of the Milky Way galaxy called the Orion Arm, or Orion Spur. Our solar system orbits the center of the galaxy at about 515,000 mph (828,000 kph). It takes about 230 million years to complete one orbit around the galactic center.

We call it the solar system because it is made up of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity - the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets Pluto, Ceres, Makemake, Haumea, and Eris - along with hundreds of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.

Our solar system is the only one we know of that has a planet that supports life. So far, we only know of life on Earth, but we're looking for life on other worlds.

NASA's Europa Clipper

Send Your Name to Jupiter

You're invited to #SendYourName to Jupiter's moon Europa by signing a poem by U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón that will travel aboard NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft.

Saying Farewell: Which Spacecraft are Leaving Our Solar System?

Only two spacecraft have reached interstellar space, the space between stars. Three other spacecraft have achieved enough velocity to eventually travel beyond the boundaries of our solar system.

Voyager 1 went interstellar in 2012 and Voyager 2 joined it in 2018. Both spacecraft, launched in 1977, are still in communication with Earth.

NASA's New Horizons spacecraft is currently exploring an icy region beyond Neptune called the Kuiper Belt. It eventually will leave our solar system.

Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 also will ultimately travel silently among the stars toward the galactic core. The spacecraft used up their power supplies decades ago.
