Uranus


Uranus is yet another "Gas Giant". The atmosphere has helium, hydrogen, and methane. Methane makes it look blue-green.


Uranus is tipped over because the North and South poles are sideways so it is like a ball rolling around the sun instead of like a top spinning around the sun.


Of course, it is named after a Roman god. You might be, too. Uranus was discovered years after the ones in front of it.

Next is Neptune! The finale is closer than you think, huh?:(

  2. Its name after a Roman god because the Romans found the first planets during the reign of the Roman Empire
