URANUS, GOD OF SKY

 Uranus is the seventh planet of the solar system. It is named after Uranus; the Greek God of the sky. This is the first planet observed by the telescope in 1781.

 It is the third-largest planet in the solar system only after Jupiter and Saturn.

 This planet also has multiple moons. It has faint rings.

 This icy giant has blue-green color. 

color makes it an attractive Planet in the solar system.

 This planet is four-time as wide as Earth. 

This planet has a large ocean of methane and ammonia.

URANUS: THE ROLLING PLANET

 It is tilted 97.77 degrees on its axis due to this tilt this planet rolls instead of rotating as the other planets do. This is the only planet that has such a movement. This planet has the largest tilt on its axis and due to this tilt, the North Pole and the South Pole observe winter and summer alternatively for a span of 21 years.

 This planet rotates sideways. It completes its rotation in 17 hours however; it completes its revolution around Sun in 84 years.

 It has a 97.77º axial tilt. This is the greatest tilt among the planets. This tilt is believed due to the planet’s collision with another planet or moon similar to the size of Earth.

 It rotates east to west similar to Venus. The only two planets of the solar system that rotates East to West are Venus and Uranus.

SURFACE OF URANUS

 This planet does not have any solid surface. Its surface is fluid due to high pressure. It is a cold icy giant that has a blue-green color. This blue-green color is due to access of Methane in its atmosphere. It has hydrogen in diatomic form and Helium in atomic form.

The atmosphere is gaseous that transits to liquid layers. Its mantle is a hot ocean of water and ammonia. Its core is made of rocks. Its core is hot reaching 4982ºC.

 This called icy giant is inhabitable as it doesn't have a solid surface. Its outer surface is fluid and its inner core may be made of rocks. It has poisonous gases in its atmospheres such as Methane and ammonia. Its surface observes high pressure that is enough to crush the spacecraft.

 Methane in the atmosphere of Uranus absorbs red, orange, and yellow colors, it reflects the blue-green color and this gas gives it the particular blue (cyan) color to the planet. 

RAIN OF DIAMONDS ON URANUS

The atmosphere of Uranus has hydrogen, carbon, and methane. These molecules act as seeds for diamond formation. Diamonds are formed under the surface of Uranus at the depth of 8000 km where extreme heat and atmospheric pressure burn methane and convert carbon into diamonds. These diamonds with gas and vapors reach the atmosphere, from where they rain on the surface of Uranus. However, the size of these diamonds is very small, in the range of nanoparticles.

RINGS OF URANUS

 This planet also has a number of rings around it these rings are formed of gases and dust particles. The rings are of a different colors. The inner rings are dark grey in color and the Outer rings are red or pink in color. 

Uranus has thirteen rings. These are named alpha, beta, gamma, zeta, etc. Alpha and beta are the outermost rings. These are light in color.

MOONS OF URANUS

 Uranus is named after the Greek God of the sky. Uranium the radioactive element is named after Uranus. It has 29 moons. Its moon has been named after the characters of Shakespeare and Alexander Pope. Its inner moons are made of half-ice and half rocks.

 Water is present in form of ice. Liquid water doesn't exist on this planet. Due to its low temperature, it has gases in a liquid state and water is in a frozen state. It is the coldest planet in the solar system. Its average surface temperature is -224ºC.
