Uranus

The seventh  planet is  a bluish green orb; Uranus.   The very hazy atmosphere    gives Uranus its characteristic bland appearance.     This  is mainly made up of Hydrogen & Helium,  with some methane.  The average temperature of the cloud tops    is -210° C.   A most interesting aspect of    this world is the extreme  82° axial tilt, so that the planet appears to roll around   the Sun; in 84 years.   A system of rings  is also in  attendance, these are thin and relatively dark, in comparison to those of  Saturn.    Uranus has 5 major moons,  Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania & Oberon.   The painting here shows  the planet as seen from Oberon,

(this rendering
shows the planet as rather more greenish than occurs in reality)
