SOME RANDOM FACTS
Due to its extreme axial tilt, Uranus experiences long seasons that last for about 21 Earth years each.
The rings of Uranus are unique among the gas giants in that they are tilted almost perpendicular to the planet's orbit around the Sun. This gives them a sideways appearance when observed from Earth.
Uranus is classified as an ice giant, along with Neptune, due to its composition of primarily hydrogen, helium, and methane.
