Uranus (from the Latin name "Ūranus" for the Greek god Οὐρανός ) is the seventh planet from the Sun . It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the Solar System . Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune , and both have bulk chemical compositions which differ from that of the larger gas giants Jupiter and Saturn . For this reason, scientists often classify Uranus and Neptune as " ice giants " to distinguish them from the gas giants. Uranus' atmosphere is similar to Jupiter's and Saturn's in its primary composition of hydrogen and helium , but it contains more " ices " such as water, ammonia , and methane , along with traces of other hydrocarbons . [13] It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System, with a minimum temperature of 49 K (−224 °C; −371 °F), and has a complex, layered cloud structure with water thought to make up the lowest clouds and methane the uppermost layer of clouds. [13] The interior of Uranus is mainly composed of ices and rock. [12] |

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun . It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the Solar System . Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune , and both are of different chemical composition to the larger gas giants Jupiter and Saturn . Thus, astronomers sometimes place them in a separate category called " ice giants ". Uranus's atmosphere, although similar to Jupiter's and Saturn's in its primary composition of hydrogen and helium , contains more " ices ", such as water, ammonia , and methane , along with traces of other hydrocarbons . [10] It is the coldest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System, with a minimum temperature of 49 K (−224.2 °C), and has a complex, layered cloud structure, with water thought to make up the lowest clouds, and methane the uppermost layer of clouds.

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun . It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the Solar System . It is named after the ancient Greek deity of the sky Uranus ( Ancient Greek : Οὐρανός ), the father of Cronus ( Saturn ) and grandfather of Zeus ( Jupiter ). Though it is visible to the naked eye like the five classical planets , it was never recognized as a planet by ancient observers because of its dimness and slow orbit. [16] Sir William Herschel announced its discovery on March 13, 1781, expanding the known boundaries of the Solar System for the first time in modern history. Uranus was also the first planet discovered with a telescope . |

Uranus IPA: /ˈjʊərənəs, jʊˈreɪnəs/) is the seventh planet from the Sun and the third-largest and fourth-most massive planet in the solar system . It is named after the ancient Greek deity of the sky ( Uranus , [[wiktionary:οὐρανός| Οὐρανός ]] ), the father of Kronos ( Saturn ) and grandfather of Zeus ( Jupiter ). Uranus was the first planet discovered in modern times . Though it is visible to the naked eye like the five classical planets , it was never recognized as a planet by ancient observers due to its dimness. [15] Sir William Herschel announced its discovery on March 13 , 1781 , expanding the known boundaries of the solar system for the first time in modern history. This was also the first discovery of a planet made using a telescope . |

Uranus is composed primarily of rock and various ices, with only about 15% hydrogen and a little helium (in contrast to Jupiter and Saturn which are mostly hydrogen). Uranus (and Neptune ) are in many ways similar to the cores of Jupiter and Saturn minus the massive liquid metallic hydrogen envelope. It appears that Uranus does not have a rocky core like Jupiter and Saturn but rather that its material is more or less uniformly distributed. Uranus' cyan color is due to the adsorption of red light by atmospheric methane. |

In Greek mythology , Uranus is the ancient deity of the heavens, the earliest supreme god. Uranus was the son and mate of Gaia , the father of Cronus ( Saturn ) and of the Cyclopes and Titans (predecessors of the Olympian gods). |
