  1. solarsystem.nasa.gov › planets › uranusIn Depth | Uranus – NASA Solar System Exploration

    The seventh planet from the Sun with the third largest diameter in our solar system, Uranus is very cold and windy. The ice giant is surrounded by 13 faint rings and 27 small moons as it rotates at a nearly 90-degree angle from the plane of its orbit.

  2. solarsystem.nasa.gov › solar-system › our-solar-systemIn Depth | Our Solar System – NASA Solar System Exploration

    Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.

  3. solarsystem.nasa.gov › planets › in-depthWhat is a Planet? | Planets – NASA Solar System Exploration

    By the 17th century, astronomers (aided by the invention of the telescope) realized that the Sun was the celestial object around which all the planets—including Earth—orbit, and that the moon is not a planet, but a satellite (moon) of Earth. Uranus was added as a planet in 1781 and Neptune was discovered in 1846.

  4. solarsystem.nasa.gov › module › 9310 Need-to-Know Things About Uranus - NASA Solar System...

    Uranus orbits our Sun, a star, and is the seventh planet from the Sun at a distance of about 1.8 billion miles (2.9 billion kilometers).

    Oct 24, 2024 · Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun, and the third largest planet in our solar system. It appears to spin sideways.

  6. solarsystem.nasa.gov › planets › earthIn Depth | Earth – NASA Solar System Exploration

    While Earth is only the fifth largest planet in the solar system, it is the only world in our solar system with liquid water on the surface. Just slightly larger than nearby Venus, Earth is the biggest of the four planets closest to the Sun, all of which are made of rock and metal.

  7. solarsystem.nasa.gov › moons › uranus-moonsIn Depth | Uranus Moons – NASA Solar System Exploration

    All of Uranus's inner moons (those observed by Voyager 2) appear to be roughly half water ice and half rock. The composition of the moons outside the orbit of Oberon remains unknown, but they are likely captured asteroids.

    Oct 24, 2024 · Planet Compare. NASA’s real-time science encyclopedia of deep space exploration. Our scientists and far-ranging robots explore the wild frontiers of our solar system.

  9. solarsystem.nasa.gov › planets › neptuneIn Depth | Neptune – NASA Solar System Exploration

    Neptune took shape when the rest of the solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become this ice giant. Like its neighbor Uranus, Neptune likely formed closer to the Sun and moved to the outer solar system about 4 billion years ago.

  10. solarsystem.nasa.gov › planets › venusIn Depth | Venus – NASA Solar System Exploration

    It's a cloud-swaddled planet named for a love goddess, often called Earth’s twin. But pull up a bit closer, and Venus turns hellish. Our nearest planetary neighbor, the second planet from the Sun, has a surface hot enough to melt lead.
