Uranus
Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun, but it is the third largest planet. Uranus was actually the first planet discovered with a telescope. Uranus is also classified as an ice giant, because of the ice in its atmosphere. Uranus is composed of helium, and hydrogen, and because of that it has the coldest atmosphere in the solar system. Its insides are mainly composed of Ices and Rock. Along with other "gas giants", it has numerous moons. Its axis (unlike any other planet) is tilted sideways. Because of this, its north and south poles are located where other planets equators are located. On the surface, the winds can reach up to the speeds of 250 meters per second. The seasonal changes of Uranus are completely unlike those of other planets. Uranus has many planetary rings, which were discovered on March 10, 1977 by James L. Elliot, Edward W. Dunham, and Douglas J. mink using the Kuiper Airborne Observatory. Uranus has 27 known natural satellites.
