Uranus, named after the Greek god of the sky, "Ouranos," stands as one of the solar system’s most intriguing ice giants. With a radius of approximately 25,362 kilometers, it is the seventh planet from the Sun, distinguished by its pale blue hue and unique rotational axis. Unlike other planets, Uranus orbits on its side, a characteristic thought to result from a massive collision in its early history, giving it a distinct orientation in the solar system.
