  2. In Depth | Uranus – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/uranus/in-depth.amp

    The seventh planet from the Sun with the third largest diameter in our solar system, Uranus is very cold and windy. The ice giant is surrounded by 13 faint rings and 27 small moons as it rotates at a nearly 90-degree angle from the plane of its orbit.

  3. Uranus By the Numbers – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/uranus-by-the-numbers

    Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun, and the third largest planet in our solar system. It appears to spin sideways.

  4. In Depth | Our Solar System – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/solar-system/our-solar-system/in-depth.amp

    Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.

  6. Uranus orbits our Sun, a star, and is the seventh planet from the Sun at a distance of about 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers).

  7. In Depth | Uranus Moons – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/moons/uranus-moons/in-depth.amp

    All of Uranus's inner moons (those observed by Voyager 2) appear to be roughly half water ice and half rock. The composition of the moons outside the orbit of Oberon remains unknown, but they are likely captured asteroids.

  8. In Depth | Neptune – NASA Solar System Exploration

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/neptune/in-depth.amp

    Neptune is one of two ice giants in the outer solar system (the other is Uranus). Most (80% or more) of the planet's mass is made up of a hot dense fluid of "icy" materials – water, methane, and ammonia – above a small, rocky core. Of the giant planets, Neptune is the densest.

  9. Gravity Assist: Ice Giants (Uranus & Neptune) with Amy Simon

    solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/303/gravity-assist-ice-giants-uranus-neptune-with...

    Beyond Saturn are two of the most misunderstood and bizarre planets in our solar system—the “ice giants” Uranus and Neptune. Did you know that Uranus has rings and appears to spin on its side? And that windy and intensely blue Neptune once had an Earth-sized Great Dark Spot?
