Useless Facts about Uranus (hee hee)

~It is a gas giant. (Yeah, another anus joke). Meaning unlike earth, the majority of the planet is a whirlwind of various gases. The planet is part of the Jupiter family. Also known as Jovian planets.

~Unlike the other Gas Giants, on its surface, it has smaller traces of hydrogen (H) and helium (HE).

~Another thing that makes it different from other Gas Giants is that it’s tilted differently. One pole is actually pointed directly at the Sun. You would think the pole pointed at the sun would be hotter than the rest of the planet, but it’s not. No one knows why this is the case. Magic?

~It has 21 moons. Many not looking like our own, mostly random rocks that got caught in orbit.
