Uranus (Sol VII) is an ice giant in Sol System that has an unusual lopsided magnetic field due to a dramatic tilt of its axis that places its north and south poles where most other planets have their equator.

Atmospheric Composition

Uranus' atmosphere is primarily composed of Hydrogen with some Helium.

Chemical Formula	Full Name	Amount
H2	Hydrogen	83%
He	Helium	15%
CH4	Methane	2.3%
HD	Hydrogen Deuteride	0.009%
H2S	Hydrogen Sulfide	Trace
NH3	Ammonia	Ice Crystals
H2O	Water	Ice Crystals
NH4SH	Ammonium Hydrosulfide	Ice Crystals
4CH4·23H2O	Methane Hydrate	Ice Crystals

Natural Satellites

Miranda

Miranda is one of the smallest objects in the Sol System known to be in hydrostatic equilibrium. Its extreme and varied topography includes the Verona Rupes, which features the tallest cliff in the system.

Ariel

The surface of this moon is crisscrossed by an extensive network of scarps, canyons and ridges. Scientists speculate some of these canyons were carved out by liquid ammonia, methane or carbon monoxide.

Umbriel

This moon's name has its roots in the Latin word "umbra", which means shadow. An appropriate reference considering Umbriel is the darkest of all Uranian moons.

Titania

Titania is Uranus' largest moon. Enormous canyons and scarps cut through its surface. Scientists believe they were created after an interior expansion occurred during the moon's evolution.

Oberon

Uranus' second largest moon was named after a mythical faery king from a famous 16th century play. Its surface is covered in impact craters and appears red in color due to space weathering.
