Uranus - 7th Rock from the Sun - Share 1
Planet Uranus appears to have been either a captured planet caused by Jupiter's phenomenal gravitation forces, or repositioned because of Jupiter's Gravitation.
Some scientists believe that Uranus was hit by some other huge celestial object that tipped its axis by 98°. Based on my preliminary research, there does not seem to be substantial scientific interest in this planet or its moons... That, however, may change.
"Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. 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." Wikipedia
Distance from Sun: 1.784 billion mi
Radius: 15,759 mi
Orbital period: 84 years
Length of day: 0d 17h 14m
Surface area: 3.121 billion mi²
Did you know: Uranus rotates on its axis once every 17 hours and 14 minutes
"Uranus has 27 moons that we know of. Five of the moons are large and the rest are much smaller. The five large moons are called Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. Titania is the largest moon of Uranus and it is covered with small craters, a few large craters, and very rough rocks."

Thank you, my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the National Geographic documentary on the planet Uranus. The mention of Uranus brought giggles and laughter to many school-aged children in middle and high school and probably may still do so :-)
