The journey to Uranus is now a little longer. This is where the dimensions of the solar system become apparent.

Uranus is the third largest planet in the solar system and was only discovered in 1781 by Wilhelm Herschel, who also found the two largest of its moons. Like the other large planets, Uranus is made of gas, predominantly hydrogen. Methane in its atmosphere absorbs red light, making the planet appear blue-green.

The special thing about Uranus is that its axis of rotation lies in its orbital plane, while for all other planets, with the exception of Pluto, the axis of rotation is almost perpendicular to the orbit.

In 1977, a ring system was discovered around Uranus, but it is much darker and smaller than that of Saturn.
