Uranus
Before the
invention of the telescope, man can only try to see planets like Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn with their naked eye . In 1781 Uranus was discovered by a British
astronomer, William Herschel using a telescope he made himself . This discovery
motivated people at that time to look for other planets .
The diameter
of Uranus is 51118 km and is the
third largest planet in the Solar System . It takes 84 years to orbit the Sun
and 24 hours to rotates on its own axis . The thick atmosphere in Uranus causes it to look bluish-green .
One thing
that is special about Uranus is that
it rotates on its side and this cause it look like it is reclining ( resting in
a horizontal position ) while rotating about its own axis .
