Uranus
Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun. It is about 1.8 billion miles from the Sun. Uranus was named after an ancient sky god. Uranus may consist of a rocky center covered by a deep ocean. It is surrounded by thick clouds of gas. A year on Urnaus lasts a little more than 84 Earth years. A day is 16 hours. Uranus has fifteen moons. It is often hard to see the ring around it. Uranus looks almost like Neptune.
