The seventh planet in the solar system is both ordinary and unique. Almost one in three of the more than 5,500 known exoplanets is similar to ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune. Such gas planets, which consist largely of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, are therefore quite common. At the same time, Uranus, which has not yet been scientifically researched, is extremely unusual: its axis of rotation is at an angle of almost 98 degrees to its orbital axis, and Uranus’ poles sometimes point towards the sun or away from it. The planet “rolls” in its orbit around the sun, which takes regarding 84 Earth years. This tilt, in turn, leads to the most extreme seasons in the solar system.
