Uranus



Uranus means:
Uranus was the lord of the skies and husband of Earth. He was also the king of the gods until his son Saturn overthrew him (KidsAstronomy.com).

Uranus is unlike the other planets and moons because it spends on it side. The south pole is pointed directly at the Sun. The polar regions receive more energy from the Sun then the equatorial regions, yet the equator is still hotter than the poles. The reasoning for this is unknown.



It has a large rocky core that is believed to possibly have trillions of large diamonds. The atmosphere is made of hydrogen, helium, and methane.
