G.A.T.E. Student Portfolio Solar Systems Post ten facts you learned about the Solar Systems. Uranus is a giant icy ball of gas and liquid, with a solid center. It’s the seventh planet from the sun and the farthest that you can see without a telescope. Although Neptune is even farther from the sun, Uranus is the coldest planet in our solar system. The color comes from clouds on its surface made up of tiny crystals of methane gas. Uranus also has rings like Saturn, though they aren’t very noticeable. The rings are made of ice and rock. At least 21 moons orbit around Uranus, somewhat like a Ferris wheel. Its poles are on its sides and it orbits the sun on its side. The strange way that it spins can mean nights on some parts of Uranus last more than forty years! Scientists think a planet as big as Earth may have crashed into Uranus at some point, tipping it onto its side.
