Diameter : 52,096 km
Moons : 21
Density ; 1.32 g/cm cube
Average distance to the sun (km): 2852.8 million
Time to orbit the sun : 84.01 years
Watery Uranus is the only planet that lies on its side. One pole, then the other, faces the sun as it orbits. Voyager – II found nine dark, compact rings around the planet and a corkscrew – shaped magnetic field that stretches millions of kms. It is one of the coldest with an average temperature of -223 C. It is made of mainly hydrogen and has a barren landscape apart from frozen methane clouds.
