Uranus

Uranus was discovered in 1781. There are lots of narrow rings orbiting around it. Because of gases Uranus has a blue coloured surface. The diameter of  Uranus is 52,400 km. On the surface the temperature is -210° C. The atmosphere around Uranus is methane, helium and hydrogen. It is 1,784 million miles from the Sun. It has fifteen moons. A year, the time it takes to orbit the Sun, is 84.01 years (in Earth time). Uranus is bigger than our planet Earth but details are hard to find as Uranus is so far away.
