Uranus

/ˈjʊrənəs/ noun

Definition

The seventh planet from the sun in our solar system, an ice giant with a blue-green color and tilted rings; also the ancient Greek sky god.

Etymology

From Greek mythology, Ouranos, the primordial sky god; the planet was named after this deity in 1781 when discovered by William Herschel, continuing the tradition of naming planets after gods.

Kelly Says

Uranus is nicknamed 'the sideways planet' because it rotates on its side at a 98-degree angle—nobody knows why, but scientists theorize it got knocked over by a planet-sized collision billions of years ago!
