Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun in our Solar System. Like Neptune, it is an ice giant. It is the third largest planet in the solar system.

The planet is made of ice, gases and liquid metal. Its atmosphere contains hydrogen (1H), helium (2He) and methane. The temperature on Uranus is −197 °C (−322.6 °F; 76.1 K) near the top of its atmosphere. Its small solid core (about 55% the mass of Earth) is probably about 5,000 K (4,730 °C; 8,540 °F; 5,000 K)[convert: %s]%s.
