The 98° Tilted Planet

 Uranus

Uranus is the third biggest planet in the solar system. This planet rotates at a nearly 90-degree angle from the plane of its orbit. This unique tilt makes Uranus look like a rolling ball. Uranus was discovered in 1781 by astronomer William Herschel. After two years the object was universally accepted as a new planet.

Distance from the sun: 2.871 billion km

Discovered: 13 March 1781

Orbital period: 84 years

Surface area: 8.083 billion km²

Planet type: Ice giant

Formation

The Uranus was formed when gravity pulled swirling gasses and ice giants to form a huge ice giant, about 4.5 billion years ago. It took its fixed position about 4 billion years ago.

This picture shows Uranus surrounded by its four major rings and by 10 of its moons. This image has colors added to show the different altitudes and thicknesses of clouds in the atmosphere. Green and blue areas show where the atmosphere is clear and sunlight can get through. The yellow and grey parts have thicker clouds. Orange and red colors mean very high clouds, similar to cirrus clouds on Earth.

Moons

Uranus has 27 known moons. The moons of Uranus are made up of half-ice and half rocks. Uranus' moons are unique in being named for Shakespearean characters. Oberon and Titania are the largest uranian moons that were discovered by William Herschel in 1787.

Surface

Uranus actually doesn't have any true surface as it is an ice giant, and that's the reason why the spacecrafts have nowhere to land on the planet Uranus. The high pressure and the temperature will destroy the metal of the spacecraft.

Atmosphere

Helium and Hydrogen and a small amount of methane and traces of water are the main compositions of the atmosphere of Uranus. the temperature is -224.2 degrees celcius of the atmosphere.

Rings

The inner ring system consists of  9 rings mostly of narrow, light grey rings. There are two outer rings, the inner one is reddish like dust, and the outer one is just like Saturn's ring 'E' (blue in color). In order of increasing distance from the planet, the rings are called Zeta, 6, 5, 4, Alpha, Beta, Eta, Gamma, Delta, Lambda, Epsilon, Nu, and Mu.
