2. The Beginning  Named after Greek God of the Heavens- earliest supreme God  Discovered by William Herschel  On March 13, 1781  Randomly spotted it through his telescope

3. Measurements and Distances  Mass- 86,810,300,000,000,000,000,000,000  Volume- 68,334,355,695,584 km 3  Density- 1.270 g/cm 3  Gravity- 8.87 m/s 2  7 th planet from the sun  Distance from sun- 2,870,990,000 km  Distance from Earth- 2,880,000,000

4. Composition and Weather  Helium 83%  Hydrogen 15%  Methane 2%  Very thin atmosphere  Temperature range: -243 o F to -370 o F  Very cold- ice storms  Windy

5. Orbit and Rotation  Time to orbit the sun- 30,685 Earth days (84 Earth years)  Time to rotate on its axis- 17.9 Earth hours

6. Rings  11 rings  Rock and dust  Discovered in 1977  Faint- no obvious color

7. Moons  27 moons  5o,ooo to 12,200,000 km away from Uranus  26-1578 km in diameter  Some have irregular features- Grooves Irregular oval shape Bright Dark Craters

8. If a Human Went on Uranus… You would probably freeze to death since it is a few hundred degrees below zero there.

9. Special Feature!! My planet Uranus allegedly got hit by a larger object a few billion years ago, causing it now to rotate around its axis from top to bottom.
