Uranus is the only planet in solar system that rotates on its side !!!
Its axis is tilted by almost 98 degrees , which means it spins almost horizontally.
Most planets rotate West to East. But only 2 planets spin in opposite direction, Uranus and Venus.
Because of this unusual tilt , Uranus each pole faces the Sun for about 42 years straight followed by 42 years of darkness !!!
Uranus is the coldest planet of solar system as it gives off very little internal heat.
Its blue - green colour comes from methane gas which absorb red light and reflects blue light.
Uranus has 27 known Moons even they are tilted !!!
Uranus has faint Rings .
