Uranus
Uranus is a planet in the Solar System. It is the seventh-closest and second-farthest planet from the Sun. It was named after Uranus, a god in Greek mythology.
Uranus was discovered on March 13, 1781 by William Herschel. It had been seen before, but Herschel was the first person to realize that it wasn't a star.
Uranus has 27 known moons.
- There is a running gag that where if someone uses the "a" as a long vowel it sounds like "Your Anus", which is why mostly the "a" is correctly said as a low vowel.
