Uranus

Uranus

Uranus was the first planet to be discovered by using a telescope. It is the 7th planet in the Solar System. It is about 1,783 million miles from the Sun. Uranus is on its side. Scientists say that it got hit by an object that made it tilt. Uranus is a blue-green color. It comes from the planet's gases. Uranus is a ball of hydrogen and helium gases with a core of rock with ice around it. A space craft could never land on Uranus because the surface is made of gas and is not solid. It has 15 moons. Uranus has rings like Saturn. It has 9 thin rings made of pieces of ice. The rings are black which make them hard to see.
