In Depth | Uranus – NASA Solar System Exploration
The seventh planet from the Sun with the third largest diameter in our solar system, Uranus is very cold and windy. The ice giant is surrounded by 13 faint rings and 27 small moons as it rotates at a nearly 90-degree angle from the plane of its orbit.
Uranus 10 Things - Solar System Exploration
The solar system has one star, eight planets, five dwarf planets, at least 290 moons, more than 1.3 million asteroids, and about 3,900 comets.
Uranus - NASA Solar System Exploration
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun, and the third largest planet in our solar system – about four times wider than Earth. Uranus is very cold and windy. It is surrounded by faint rings, and more than two dozen small moons. It rotates at a nearly 90-degree angle from the plane of its orbit.

In Depth | Uranus Moons – NASA Solar System Exploration
All of Uranus's inner moons (those observed by Voyager 2) appear to be roughly half water ice and half rock. The composition of the moons outside the orbit of Oberon remains unknown, but they are likely captured asteroids.
1986: Voyager at Uranus - NASA Solar System Exploration
Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited Uranus and Neptune. At closest approach, the spacecraft came within 50,600 miles (81,500 km) of Uranus's cloud tops. The thousands of images and reams of scientific data Voyager 2 sent back revealed a complex system of rings, moons, and an unusual magnetosphere.

Why Uranus and Neptune Are Different Colors - NASA Solar System Exploration
Neptune and Uranus have much in common — they have similar masses, sizes, and atmospheric compositions — yet their appearances are notably different. At visible wavelengths Neptune has a distinctly bluer color whereas Uranus is a pale shade of cyan.
