Uranus,
like the other giant planets, is a "gas giant" of an actual blue color
(some of the other planets appear blue in photographs because of being
filmed through infrared filters), although it is not as large as Jupiter
or Saturn-- about half of the diameter of Saturn. Uranus is
barely visible to the naked eye. Like Saturn, it has rings, though
they are not as impressive. Uranus tilts on its axis and keeps one
hemisphere pointed to the sun for many years. It's "atmosphere" (if
such on a gaseous planet) is about 83% hydrogen and 15% helium. After
Saturn, the orbits of the planets are more widely spaced, with that of
Uranus being about twenty times the distance from the Sun of earth's orbit.
