Uranus

 

Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun. It is so far from the sun that it takes 84 Earth years to complete its orbit.

Uranus may seem a dull planet, but it has many interesting features. It spins around the Sun on its side and because of this Uranus' poles experience 21 years of constant sunlight and 21 years of darkness.

Uranus also has many moons, and 11 very faint black rings that were discovered by accident in 1977.
