The Nine Planets
Universe Today
- Uranus wasn't discovered to be a planet until March 13, 1781.
- Uranus has only been visited by a single spacecraft: Voyager 2 in 1986.
- Uranus spins on an axis nearly perpendicular with its axis of rotation around the sun. When visited by Voyager 2, its south pole was pointed towards the Sun.
- There are rings around Uranus, but they, like its axis of rotation, are nearly perpendicular to its orbit around the Sun.
- Even though it isn't the farthest planet out, it is the coldest planet in our solar system (below -200 C).
