Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and the third-largest and fourth most massive planet in the Solar System. Like the other giant planets, Uranus has a ring system, a magnetosphere, and numerous moons. The Uranian system has a unique configuration among the planets because its axis of rotation is tilted sideways, nearly into the plane of its revolution about the Sun. As such, its north and south poles lie where most other planets have their equators. This book studies the planet Uranus including the climate of Uranus, the rings of Uranus, Miranda, Titania, and Umbriel.
