1 Uranus ~

2 Uranus One day on Uranus 17 hour 14 minutes
And the distance from the sun is 2,869,000,000 And it orbit around the sun 84 years 6 days

3 URANUS

4 Uranus Uranus Is a beautiful planet
As you can see it is circle and it has a ring around it what you can’t see

5 Uranus The giant planets have diameters greater than 48000kg. The giant planets are sometimes also referred to as gas giants. Uranus has been visited by only one spacecraft, Voyager 2 on Jan Uranus is a giant gas planet which is made up of mostly rock and various ices. Uranus spins differently from most planets. It seems to be tilted "sideways" instead of right-side up. At the time of Voyager 2's passage, Uranus' south pole was pointed almost directly at the Sun.

6 Uranus Uranus has 15 known moons. Voyager 2 discovered 10 small moons in addition to the 5 large ones already known. It is likely that there are many more tiny moons within the rings.       

7 Uranus     this is the symbol for Uranus Uranus in the seventh planet from the sun and the third largest of the nine (in size) Uranus is larger in size but smaller in weight that Neptune Uranus is the ancient Greek God of the Heavens - the earliest supreme god. He was the father of Cronus also known as Saturn in Roman mythology and of the Cyclopes and Titans predecessors of the Olympian gods

8 Uranus Like the other gas planets, Uranus has rings. Uranus' rings are very dark like Jupiter's rings. The rings are made up of fairly large particles ranging up to 10 meters across in addition to fine dust - much like the rings of Saturn. There are 11 known rings, all are very faint. Uranus' brightest ring is known as the "Epsilon" ring.   Like the other gas planets, Uranus has bands of clouds that blow around rapidly. Uranus' bands are very, very faint. They can only be seen with special treatment of pictures obtained by the Voyager 2 spacecraft. Here are examples of what Uranus looks like before and after image enhancement. 

9 Uranus Uranus is sometimes just barely visible with the naked eye on a very clear night; it is fairly easy to spot with binoculars (if you know exactly where to look). A small astronomical telescope will show a small disk

10 Uranus The gas planets are mostly made up of gases (hydrogen and helium). These planets are light for their sizes (just like a big air balloon) and move quickly. They have rings and lots of moons. The rocky planets are mostly made up of rock and metal. These planets are very heavy and move slowly. They also do not have rings and very few moons

11 Uranus The small planets have diameters less than km across. Mercury and Pluto are sometimes referred to as lesser planets because they are so tiny. The giant planets have diameters greater than km. The giant planets are sometimes also referred to as gas giants.

12 Uranus Orbit Takes 84 years to complete an orbit
The Planet Uranus is the third largest planet in the solar system, is a Gas Giant and is the seventh planet from the sun. Planet Uranus has rings like Planet Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune. Orbit Takes 84 years to complete an orbit Uranus is a 'Gas Giant' with no solid surface. It may have a small, silicate-rich core, but most of its gas consists of water, ammonia and methane. Its surface area is about 8,115,600,000 km2 .

13 Uranus The only spacecraft to visit Planet Uranus was the Voyager 2 spacecraft in a flyby in It discovered 10 moons and two rings in addition to studying moons and rings previously seen from Earth. The Planet Uranus has many moons. Five of largest are Miranda, Titania, Oberon, Umbrae, Ariel. The largest moon is Titania with a radius of only km (less than half that of our Moon).

14 Uranus Our planet is a gas planet and it is not a rocky planet
Uranus is a large planet it is much bigger than Pluto Uranus Pluto now you can see our planet
