Unveiling Uranus: The Unique Ice Giant of Our Solar System

Uranus stands out as the only giant planet with an equator nearly perpendicular to its orbit, likely due to a colossal collision with an Earth-sized object. This intriguing planet, similar in size to Neptune, features an atmosphere composed of methane, hydrogen, and helium, and is home to 27 moons and 13 rings. Orbiting the Sun at a distance of about 2.87 billion kilometers, Uranus takes 84 Earth years to complete one orbit. Discovered by William Herschel in 1781, it is the seventh planet from the Sun and one of the solar system's two ice giants, characterized by its striking blue-green hue.
