Uranus
Seventh from Sol
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun in our solar system, an ice giant with a distinctive blue-green color and the unusual feature of rotating on its side.
In Greek mythology, Uranus was the primordial god of the sky, father of the Titans and grandfather of Zeus.
The planet name is a frequent target of juvenile humor due to its pronunciation, which sounds like "your anus"—leading some to favor the alternate pronunciation with stress on the first syllable.
