    Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun, with a diameter about four times larger than Earth but orbits nearly 20 times farther from the Sun. It has 27 known moons, the largest being Titania and Oberon, and distinctive blue-green appearance due to methane in its atmosphere. Uranus is also characterized by its sideways rotation, nearly horizontal axis, and system of dusty rings encircling its equator. No spacecraft have visited Uranus yet, but future missions are being considered to learn more about this enigmatic ice giant planet.
