1) The atmosphere of Uranus like that of Neptune is different from those of the largest gas giant, Jupiter and Saturn while still composed primarily of Hydrogen and Helium it possesses a higher proportion of volatiles such as water ammonia and methane.
2) Uranus is made of water with a a rock core. The upper atmosphere is thought to have a high-level petrochemical to haze that obscures features lower in the atmosphere.
3) The revolution time of Uranus is 84 years. Uranus rotates on it axis once every 17 hrs. 14 min. however in its upper amosphere very strong winds make this even faster and storms features have been noticed to make a rotation once every 14 hrs.
4) The names of Uranus moons are: Rosalina, Belinda, Perdita, Caliban, Sycorax, Stephano, Prospero, Setebos, Trinculo, Feraninand, francisco, Mab, Cupid, Margaret, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel, Titania, Miranda, Puck, Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Cressida, Desdemona, Juliet, Portia.

5) The distance from Uranus and the Sun is 2,870,990,000 KM. Uranus takes about 84.01 earth years to complete one revolution around the Sun.
6) Uranus is the acient Greek deity of the heavens, the earliest supreme god. William Herschel was going to name the planet Georgium side.
