what is mean by uranus
Answers
Answer:
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. Its name is a reference to the Greek god of the sky, Uranus, who, according to Greek mythology, was the grandfather of Zeus (Jupiter) and father of Cronus (Saturn). 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 other gas giants. Uranus's 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. It has 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. The interior of Uranus is mainly composed of ices and rock.

Here are some random facts:
- Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. It is also the coldest planet in the Solar System.
- And do you know that the axial tilt of Uranus is a staggering 99 degrees?!! In other words, the planet is rotating on its side....
- A Season on Uranus lasts one long day – 42 years. This means that a day at the north pole of Uranus lasts half of a Uranian year – 84 Earth years.
- Uranus has the second most dramatic set of rings in the Solar System (after Saturn, ofc). However, these rings are composed of extremely dark particles which vary in size from micrometers to a fraction of a meter – hence why they are not nearly as discernible as Saturn’s.
- Uranus has 27 moons
And you can ask goo.gle for more information, 'coz I think you already know what kind of answers to expect from here.
Fun Fact!
It would take around 22.000 Uranuses to fill the Sun (hopefully, some day I'll be mature enough to read this without cracking up)
